Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

Netleaf hackberry is a small deciduous tree with shrubby tendencies. It is related to Common Hackberry. Leaves are dark green and leathery, and turn yellow in the fall. Flowers are inconspicuous, and are followed by little orange berry-like drupes that ripen in the fall, loved by birds. Bark is rough with prominent ridges, and is red-brown to grey. Grows between 20 to 30 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide. Its shrubby inclinations make it best suited as a background shrub; it does have a knotty, gnarly structure that provides winter interest. A Utah native.
