Also going by the names Texas Sugarberry, Lowland Hackberry, and Palo Blanco, this is a deciduous tree that typically grows 60 to 80 feet tall with a rounded, spreading crown and curving branches. Insignificant flowers give way to often abundant, round, fleshy berries that are favored by many species of birds. Sugar-Berry grows in partial shade and in a variety of moist soils.
