Comments:
Adapted to a variety of soil conditions from wet to dry. Many birds eat the seeds in fall and winter. American goldfinch love nut-like fruit. A long-lived tree in the Lower South. Old specimens are much more attractive than young trees. Will grow in chalky, alkaline soils. Difficult to grow other plants beneath canopy of hackberry trees because of the shallow, fibrous, highly competitive root system. Very competitive for available moisture and nutrients.
