Celtis reticulata is a small- to medium-sized deciduous tree native to western North America. It features leaves with asymmetrical bases and a sandpaper-like texture, and distinctive warty bark that peels and folds. Inconspicuous flowers develop into brownish-purple, pea-sized fruits in the fall, which attract birds.
