Dwarfing Hackberries

Toby Hemenway wrote Gaia's Garden, a book on permaculture. In it, he suggests hackberry as a guild companion to black walnut.

Since I have a young black walnut, I thought I'd look up the hackberry. First I found that hackberries grow up to be huge trees up to 60' high, way to big for where I want to put it. Then I discovered the desert hackberry shrub. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any growing info or buying info on it.

My study continues.

But, in the meantime, I found information on how to dwarf hackberries, keeping them around 6'. This may be the answer to my problem and what I resort to.
