Celtis tournefortii
Celtis tournefortii, commonly known as the oriental hackberry, is a deciduous tree in the genus Celtis. The species is found in southeastern Europe from Sicily east to the Balkans and Crimea, West Asia, and the Caucasus. It can grow up to 6 metres (20 ft) in height and grows in plains and dry forests.
In Europe, the oriental hackberry is distributed from Sicily east through the Balkans to Crimea and Cyprus. It is known from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Greece. Greek records from the Peloponnese and the Cyclades are very old and the species may now be absent from these regions. The species' West Asian records are from Turkey, Iran, and Iraq, while its range in the Caucasus includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Despite its wide range, the species generally has a patchy distribution wherever it occurs.
