Celtis occidentalis is a deciduous tree with rough and dull green leaves in summer, turning a dull yellow in fall. It is valued as a tough and adaptable tree that can handle desert, seacoast, and intermountain conditions. It is pyramidal and excurrent when young and develops into a broad, rounded, spreading crown (decurrent) with arching, drooping branches as it ages. It is an excellent shade tree for large yards and parks and as a large screen or windbreak. Medium water use when young, drought-tolerant once established. Best in full sun, but moderately shade-tolerant. Highly adaptable to varied soil conditions; tolerates clay, sand, and both wet or dry soils. Deer-resistant. Moderate fire resistance. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to -45°F.
