Yeah. They're pretty much trash trees.
I know when I had a few at my house in Dallas, I'd have to go out every time we had some moderate wind (10-15 mph) and pick up all the branches that fell out of the tree. They're not at all sturdy, and one of my neighbor's trees actually split in two.
All right. I never want a hackberry tree. Although, I might try and get one for my mother-in-law...
