🔍 When is it ripe?
Small, round berries turn from orange-red to dark purple-black. Ripe when dark and slightly soft; sweet, date-like flavour with a hard seed. Persistent through winter — a valuable wildlife and emergency food. Eat fresh or dry and grind (seed included).
Two hackberry trees planted in lawn (University landscaping). Branches are just out of reach but lots of berries could be picked with a short stepladder.
