The identification of the tree has been controversial. However, the etymology and the dialectal descriptions clearly point to Celtis, two species of which are found on the territory of modern Armenia (Celtis caucasica and Celtis planchoniana).[4] Medieval glossaries often translate jujube, which is a fruit similar to hackberry. Therefore, the identification with Viburnum opulus in modern botanical literature is spurious.
