Comments (5)I will go with black locust as well. I took my little dog for a walk this evening specifically to look at the foliage of my Ky coffee tree and black locusts. The coffee tree's leaflets are pointed, and the locust's are not. It looks like a robinia....See MorePlease identify this tree
Comments (3)So, those brown, spent flower-like things are fruits? https://felipedelbosque.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/queens-crape-myrtle-fruit.jpg Do birds eat them? We have a lot of visiting birds in our yard....See MorePlease identify these trees!
Comments (2)It could be star magnolia but really hard to say without a closeup and knowing your garden zone. Google "USDA plant hardiness zone" and you can find a map that will show you the zones....See MorePlease Identify This Tree
Comments (5)You can do it - I had three full-sized ones in containers for a while. They were very large pots. And you have to remember to fertilize. Unless they are dwarfs it's not a great long term plan....See More

last yearlast modified: last yearFWIW, I've grown sugarberry, and our neighbor has one here as well. Leaves in OP photo look different than what I know - thicker and more curved with a rougher surface and fuzzy stems.

last yearWell, you can't make a written in stone statement that sugarberry looks like this, because there are at least 3 different varieties of Celtis laevigata. There is C. laevigata var. laevigata, C. laevigata var. reticulata and C. laevigata var. texana. I was just going by the 3 species of Celtis listed on the BONAP map, but according to Weakley, there are 6 more species of Celtis that occur in Eastern US. I'm just going to say that's it's a hackberry of some description, and call it a day. Anyone is welcome to go through the list and check every species and it's varieties for a match, but I don't have the time.
