Chondrostereum purpureum can be used for weed control as a fungal pathogen. It promotes wood decay by giving the tree silver leaf disease and blocking the vascular system of the tree, which leads to tree death. For example, the American bird cherry was an invasive species in the Netherlands, forming shrubby weeds in the conifer forest. Cutting them down did not resolve the problem thus they used Chondrostereum purpureum to kill off bird cherries.

I explored the phylogenetic placement of common hackberry. The placement of this species is the third species from the tip of the phylogenetic placement "branch".
Among my 10 observations, they don't have any adaptation in common because our group observed insects and plants, therefore they don't share the same traits, but all the plants I observed are green currently.
The unique adaptation is common hackberry is the only one among my 10 observations that produce red and round fruit that is edible for humans and animals.
