How strange. I'm surprised they were able, not to mentioned confused as to why. They're wonderful trees. Good on you for working to bring them back!D Tucholske wrote:People killed them all a long time ago & I guess they never managed to make their way back here, yet. It's kind of funny, because I saw an extremely accurate range map of where they grow & where the trees are reported goes in a huge circle around northeast Ohio & western PA.
The ones where I live are quite rough to the touch. My partner has become mildly obsessed with figuring out how to eat them as greens, since they're very abundant. But the rough texture is a little unpleasant on the mouth. Pressure cooking reduces it. Apparently, they're extremely nutritious. Really a rather pleasant flavor to me.William Bronson wrote:Those of you who have hackberries, are the leaves rough to the touch?

Me either, until recently. The entire fruit and seed is edible too. Lots of protein. The fruity part is very thin, but quite tasty. I guess you can grind the entire seed, fruit and all to use for food. Haven't experimented with that yet, so we shall see. If nothing else, I bet they make good chicken food. Good idea with the dehydrating! Will have to try that!William Bronson wrote:Wow, thank you!
I think I have a few of these trees, but I never knew they had even marginally edible leaves.
Dehydration can fix unpleasant tastes and textures in many leaves.

The leaves seem to be alike to one another, but the sickly looking ones are from a mature tree.
The photo showing bark is from the mature tree.
Are these Hackberry trees?
