Description: If you're fond of hackberries because of their wildlife appeal, you'll love this one which is endemic to central Texas! The underside of the leaves is covered in tomentum which gives this tree a gray cast. And in addition to providing wildlife with food and nest, it is also larval host to Adelpha fessonia butterfly. Grown from open pollinated seed, so some cross is expected.
