| Wolfberry |

| Hackberry |
Note the leaves. Which ones are larger?
 |
| Correct, this is Hackberry. Above it, Wolfberry. |
Don't let the fruit fool you. Let's review.

| Update 1/14/11: Wolfberry: redder, edible |
 |
| Hackberry: EDIBLE |
As Bruce likes to say: "Everything is edible at least once." But just say: "NO!" when Bruce offers you a wolfberry. UPDATE: 1/15/10: I'm embarrassed to discover I didn't cite a source for my claim that Bruce would try to poison you with a wolfberry. Turns out they are edible. The native peoples used both hackberry and wolfberry as food sources. Thanks to Robin for setting me straight on this.
