Sugarberry Tree {Celtis laevigata} 1st year Fruit bearing! Edible | Fast Growing | High Yield | High Germination | 10 seeds

Sugarberry is a deciduous tree native to North America and is 

found in the coastal and eastern Piedmont areas of NC often 
along stream banks. It can grow 50-70 feet tall with a somewhat 
narrower spread. It is fast growing with a rounded vase crown 
and makes a good shade tree as it is resistant to urban pollution. 
The fruits mature to red or purple and are eaten by many birds and 
mammals. In zones 8 and under, it can have attractive yellow fall 
color. The unusual warty bark and fruits provide some winter interest.
