If I find out something I'll let you know. http://www.trees.maryland.gov/pickatree.asp Maybe HACKBERRY (Celtis occidentalis) Height: 40'-60', Spread same. In youth weakly pyramidal; in old age the crown is a broad top of ascending, arching branches. Medium to fast growth.

Fruit is fleshy, orange to dark purple, ripening in September to October. Leaves are yellow to yellow-green in fall. Good tree for park or large area use. Useful tree for adverse growing conditions. Fruit is popular with winter birds, especially the cedar waxwing, mockingbird, and robin. Weather http://www.weather.com/outlook/health/fitness/tenday/USFL0615 |
