The Celtis  tree is also known as Hackberry or Sugarberry has migrated from the Northern hemisphere and is appearing in garden beds around Sydney.

This tree produces thousands of seeds which are spread by birds and before you know it you have a large tree in your backyard which requires an arborist to remove. Keep watch of them growing in your garden beds because both the tree and their stumps are very difficult to remove.

Shown is a picture of a 30 m tall Celtis tree which was growing out of a garden bed in Lindfield. The tree was growing out and over the neighbours pool, I’m sure the neighbour was happy the tree was removed.
