Celtis tenuifolia
Also called Georgia Hackberry, Upland Hackberry
Celtis tenuifolia, the dwarf hackberry or Georgia hackberry, is a shrub or small tree 2-to-12-meter-high (6.6 to 39.4 ft). It is native to eastern North America but is very uncommon north of the Ohio River. In Canada, dwarf hackberry is designated as threatened and protected under Canada's Species at Risk Act.
Dwarf hackberry is shade intolerant, drought tolerant and slow-growing. It grows in dry upland habitats, including open woodlands, alvars, and sandy near-shore habitats. It is usually not found among other hackberries, although when other hackberry species occur in proximity to dwarf hackberry, intermediate forms may occur. Like other Celtis species, this species is a moderate calciphile, and is often found growing in thin soil over limestone.
