Hackberry – a Wildlife-Friendly Deciduous Tree

A hardy, urban shade tree, the hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) is very beneficial for wildlife; it is one of the best trees for providing food and shelter to birds and small animals. It is host to at least five different species of butterfly, including the Tawny Emperor, the Snout Butterfly, the Morning Cloak, the Question Mark, and of course, the rare Hackberry Emperor.

Gro-Low Sumac – Rhus aromatica

Gro-Low Sumac (Rhus aromatica ‘Gro-Low’) is an outstanding groundcover shrub that is only 18″ tall but spreads widely. It grows in most any soil in full or part sun. A tough, fast-growing groundcover for slopes or banks, and areas with poor, dry soil. This shrub performs well in both full sun and full shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under typical garden conditions.
