Discover the unique beauty and versatility of Celtis julianae, commonly known as Julian Hackberry, an exquisite addition to any landscape. Native to the forested valleys and slopes of central and southern China, this fast-growing deciduous tree boasts a striking gray bark and reaches heights of up to 80 ft. With its umbel-shaped crown and elegantly overhanging twigs that transition from dark brown to gray, the Julian Hackberry is a captivating sight year-round.

The tree's broad-ovate to elliptic leaves, measuring 3 to 5.5 inches long, are soft to the touch with a distinctive downy yellow underside. In winter and early spring, the tree becomes adorned with red-brown flower-buds, enhancing its visual appeal. Come autumn, it blossoms with attractive, large, orange-colored drupes that not only add a splash of color to your garden but also attract various bird species.

Celtis julianae thrives in sunlit environments with well-drained soil, displaying resilience against droughts and air pollution—ideal for urban settings. It's already gracing streets in select Chinese and French cities. Whether you're looking to enhance your garden's aesthetic or contribute to urban greenery, Julian Hackberry presents an excellent choice for those desiring a robust and elegant tree that seamlessly melds beauty with function.
