hackberries
Small edible drupes
Hackberries is the plural of hackberry, a North American tree of the elm family with rough bark and small edible berries.
The fruit, though not commercially harvested, was a food source for Native Americans and remains popular with birds.
The hackberries along the fence attracted cedar waxwings all winter.
