Celtis australis, also known as the European nettle tree, is a deciduous tree native to Southern Europe, North Africa, and Asia Minor. It was introduced to England in 1796 and can grow up to 25 meters in height. The bark is smooth and grey, while the leaves are narrow and sharp-toothed. The tree produces small, dark-purple edible berries and is often planted as an ornamental due to its long lifespan and resistance to air pollution. It has a rich history, with references to its fruit in ancient texts and its use in traditional medicine. The tree is also known for its use in woodcraft, as its wood is tough and pliable. It is cultivated in Mediterranean climates and is known by various names in different countries. Notable specimens of this tree can be found in France and Jerusalem. The leaves of Celtis australis are a rich source of flavonoid C-glycosides and have high amounts of phenolics in the early growing season.
