Celtis tenuifolia

The dwarf hackberry or Georgia hackberry is in the cannabis or Cannabaceae family and is native to eastern North America but is very uncommon north of the Ohio River.

• Leaves are deciduous, simple, alternate, 5–7 cm long and 2–3.5 cm wide, uneven at the base, shallowly toothed, and finely hairy.
• Winter buds are brown and hairy, similar to those of other hackberries, but smaller, only 1–2 mm long; terminal buds are absent.
• Flowers are monecious and unisexual, occurring either solitarily or in small clusters; the species is wind-pollinated and appears to be self-compatible.
• Fruit is a berry-like drupe, 5–8 mm in diameter, consisting of a single stone encased within a thin, sweet mesocarp; from green, it becomes a light orange, then a dark red, then purplish-brown.
