Marcie, I've got a few seeds of that. If you want them, click on my user name to go to my page and email me.

What is it???

Celtis pallida, also called Spiny Hackberry...the one with the little orange berries. Oops, I should have said click on My Page by my user name.

Its an edible type of berry its orange in color. sort of like a tree-bush.

Okay -- thanks y'all! When I googled 'granjenos' what came up was mostly in Spanish lol ...

Here is a link that might be useful: Celtis pallida, or Granjenos

Good job Roselee!! I apreciate this link. Yes it has mostly spanish names BUT the description is in english.Since you are in the sw.area have you seen this plant? any baby seedlings? I think I have some seeds coming.But the saplings will not hurt. Thanks Marcie

I live in Rockport, and over on Airport Road, I've seen two trees that bare little orange fruit every year around Christmas. I stopped one day and couldn't get to the fruit because the tree is about 12' tall, but I pulled a leaf thinking that it would have a citrus smell. No way. So I've been wondering what kind of tree it is, and I think I know now. I'll run by there in the next day or two to check it out. If there are any babies or fruit laying around, I'll get them and send them off to you.

I got my plant from the San Antonio area years ago...a plant rescue. People would be surprised what grows native in S.A. in the few places left that are wild. The area I got mine from was developed. But I know they grow in that Medina River park on the southside. One year I went to a plant outing there and they were all over there. They tend to be near creeks and rivers.
