Sugarberry
Fruits are attractive to a variety of wildlife, especially birds.
Sugarberry trees are basically a southern version of common or northern hackberry.
Leaves are glossy to dull green leaves (2-4" long) and have a yellow fall color.
The Sugarberry tree, Celtis laevigata, is also commonly called sugar hackberry or southern hackberry or Mississippi hackberry.
The Sugarberry tree differs from common hackberry because the fruits are juicier and sweeter, bark is less corky, and leaves are narrower with mostly smooth margins.
