Celtis sinensis (English: Japanese hackberry,[2] Chinese hackberry; Chinese: 朴树; Japanese: 榎) is a species of flowering plant in the hemp family, Cannabaceae, that is native to slopes in East Asia.[3]
Description
[edit | edit source]It is a tree that grows to 20 m tall, with deciduous leaves and gray bark. The fruit is a globose drupe, 5–7(–8) mm in diameter. Flowering occurs in March–April, and fruiting in September–October,[3] in the Northern hemisphere.
Distribution, habitat and uses
[edit | edit source]Native to slopes at altitudes of 100–1,500 m (330–4,920 ft) in Anhui, Fujian, Gansu, Guangdong, Guizhou, Henan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, as well as Korea (팽나무),[3] Japan and Taiwan. Leaves and bark are used in Korean medicine to treat menstruation and lung abscess.[4] It is a naturalized non-invasive species in North America. It is a declared noxious weed in many parts of eastern Australia,[5][2] where its seeds are spread by birds, fruit bats and water in riparian zones, roadsides, urban bushland, open woodlands, rainforest margins, waste areas, disturbed sites, parks and gardens, in sub-tropical and warm temperate regions.[5]
