Plants with glabrous twigs and infructescences have been called var. calvescens. They do not seem to differ from the species in any other way.

Trees, to 30 m tall, deciduous. Bark gray. Branchlets dark brown, densely brownish yellow pubescent, rarely glabrous. Winter buds brown, 1-4 mm; scales at least inner ones brownish red hispid with appressed, parallel hairs. Petiole 0.7-1.5 cm, robust, densely golden pubescent, adaxially with a deep and narrow furrow; leaf blade broadly ovate to narrowly ovate-elliptic, 6-13 × 3.5-8 cm, thickly papery, abaxially densely golden pubescent or rarely so only on veins, adaxially smooth or scabrous, base ± rounded and slightly oblique, margin finely toothed above middle to rarely subentire, teeth 13-23 on each side and less than 1 mm, apex shortly acuminate to caudate-acuminate; secondary veins 4-6 on each side of midvein. Flowers densely fascicled. Style branches linear, undivided. Infructescence solitary, stout, unbranched, densely brownish yellow pubescent, rarely glabrous, 1-3 cm, 1.5-2.5 × as long as subtending petiole. Drupe 1 per infructescence, golden to orange-yellow, ellipsoid to ± globose, 1.1-1.4 cm. Stone milky white, obovate to broadly obovate, compressed slightly on both sides, 7-9 mm, reticulately foveolate, base acute to slightly obtuse, 2-ribbed on apical half. Fl. Mar-Apr, fr. Sep-Oct.

Celtis julianae C. K. Schneider var. calvescens C. K. Schneider.

Celtis julianae, the Julian hackberry, is a species of flowering plant in the family Cannabaceae, native to central and southern China. It is a fast-growing deciduous tree with gray bark reaching 80 ft (24 m). In the wild it is typically found growing in forested valleys and on slopes at 300 to 1,300 m (1,000 to 4,300 ft) above sea level.

It has found use as a street tree in a number of Chinese and French cities, and is commercially available in Europe and North America, but not in the United Kingdom.
