Fire-resistant Hackberry

Celtis ignisresistens

Generation 10 · descended from Celtis pallida (Desert hackberry) · evolved in mixed:unknown

As urban development increased the frequency and intensity of fires, Celtis pallida adapted to become more resilient. The Fire-resistant Hackberry evolved thick bark to protect itself from fires and developed the ability to resprout quickly, allowing it to dominate in areas where fires were more common, such as parks and traffic islands.
