| These trees are coming up everywhere from surface roots and a few survived in the backyard fences. They have reddish brown berry like single seed they produce which the birds eat. They are tall and scrubby, I just like to know what they are too see if I should keep them or plant a better variety.
And by the way in some of the pics on the leaves are nodules that are rock hard and on some of the leaves the leaf stem turns into a rock hard brown nutlike thing. Thanks in advance for any help, here's a link with pics. |

| Celtis occidentalis from here with a brief look. Dan |

| Well, the foliage doesn't look quite right to me, but everything else does. Including the hackberry nipple gall! Could just be just the blurry pictures that make the leaves look 'funny' to me. |
|
| or perhaps Celtis laevigata. In your pics I think I see both leavigata and occidentalis. Is it possible you have both? Occidentalis for sure in one of the foliage pics, but 1 or 2 other foliage pics and 1 bark pic look more like laevigata to me. John |

| Looks like two different species to me also. |

| Hackberry! The trees have all the same berrys but only one does not have the gall so it's leaves are not distored. They have not been tended to in years so I need to find information to correctly trim them. One in particular I want to save but it is growing beside power lines and trimming to suit the city will make it a half tree growing to one side. It is bare of limbs for about 20 feet so if I cropped it before the spread out of limbs would it canopy out there with new growth. an btw thanks for the responses it lead me in the right direction ;) |
