Celtis caucasica, the Caucasian hackberry or Caucasian nettle tree, is a species of flowering plant in the family Cannabaceae.[3][4] It is native to the Caucasus region, Central Asia, and on to the western Himalaya.[2] Hardy to USDA zone 5b, it tolerates poor soils, drought, and nearby paving, and can be used as street tree.[5][6] It is a nitrogen-fixer, in symbiosis with the mycorrhizal fungi Funneliformis mosseae and Rhizophagus intraradices.[4]
