The berries are also eaten by birds and other wildlife, which helps to spread the tree's seeds.

Celtis occidentalis, also known as the common hackberry, is a large deciduous tree native to North America. It is easily distinguished by its cork-like bark and asymmetrical, coarse-textured leaves. The tree produces small fruits that turn orange-red to dark purple in the autumn and can be found in a variety of habitats, although it prefers bottomlands and soils high in limestone. The wood of the common hackberry is light yellow and not commonly used commercially. However, the tree is often used as a street or landscape tree due to its tolerance for urban conditions. Its berries are edible and high in calories, and are also eaten by birds and other wildlife.
