Common hackberry
📍 Observatory & Walnut (WB), Madison, WI 53705, USA
🗓 Season: September · October · November
🔍 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 along the north side of Observatory Drive, near the bus stop. They’re short enough that fruit can be reached; heavy production in 2022.
