Sugarberry
Celtis laevigata
  
About Sugarberry (Celtis laevigata) 0 Nurseries Carry This Plant Celtis laevigata, the Sugarberry, is a medium-sized tree native to North America. It is also sometimes referred to as Southern Hackberry, or in the southern U.S. Sugar Hackberry or just Hackberry. Sugarberry is easily confused with Common Hackberry, (Celtis occidentalis) where the range overlaps. Sugarberry has narrower leaves which are smoother above. The species can also be distinguished by habitat: where the ranges overlap, Common Hackberry occurs primarily in upland areas, whereas Sugarberry occurs mainly in bottomland areas.
