White Mulberry / Morus Alba
Morus Alba, commonly known as White Mulberry, is native to China. White Mulberry is a small- to medium-sized, fast-growing, deciduous tree. Its leaves have been used in China since 2600 B.C. as the primary diet for silkworms used to make silk.
Trees were introduced into North America in colonial times in an effort to establish a silk industry. Several varieties of this species have been widely planted in North America and have become naturalized. Morus Alba has a furrowed orangish-brown bark, glossy lobed leaves and white to purple berry-like fruit. Flowers appears from April to June. Fruits form from female flowers and mature in June.
Fruits are loved by birds. Morus Alba may be confused with native red mulberry (Morus rubra) which has larger leaves that are dull and rough. The tree is relatively tolerant of drought, salt, pollution and poor soils. It is best grown in rich, moist, well-drained soils and in full sun to part shade. Hardiness zone : 5-9
