I just love this tree and saw a very large one at Grants farm that was tremendous. The branches have a very graceful weeping habit and the older one exhibitied more separation accentuating the beauty of it all. I am considering taking down a wild cherry right next to it; hate to because they are so bird beneficial but I think this deserves the complete space. Can anyone help me with more information on this tree?
Overall the growth pattern and fruit pattern matches but my leaf has a nodules of some type. Is this just a different strain of hackberry than what I am seeing pictured?
That is interesting because the large tree at Grant's Farm has the same exact growths...this is what it is http://www.entomology.umn.edu/cues/Web/144HackberryNipple.pdf
