And the "processed" (by birds) fruit will take the paint off a car. Got the
primer, too. I was NOT happy. It was a recently painted Pantera. Darn
birds!!!...

Funny - in this part of Texas, hackberrys are considered weeds. It's the
only tree I've seen that will draw swarms of flies while you're cutting it
down.

I've taken out four of them in the last 15 years - 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 feet
diameter, 60 feet+ tall. Wish I'd known some was worth saving; people
here won't even put it in fireplaces or stoves.

There are still some huge pieces by the burn pile from the last one.

What did you use it for?
