| | Mulberry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mulberry (Morus) is a genus of 10–16 species of deciduous trees native to warm temperate and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa and North America, with the majority of the species native to Asia. | | | Mulberry leaves, particularly those of the White Mulberry, are also economically important as the sole food source of the silkworm, the cocoon of which is used to make silk. | | | Mulberries can be grown from seed, and this is often advised as seedling-grown trees are generally of better shape and health. |

| | MULBERRY Fruit Facts |
| | The fruits of white mulberries are often harvested by spreading a sheet on the ground and shaking the limbs. | | | The tree was introduced into America for silkworm culture in early colonial times and naturalized and hybridized with the native red mulberry. | | | Foliage: The white mulberry is so-named for the color of its buds, rather than the color of its fruit. |

| | White Mulberry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | White Mulberry is extensively planted throughout the warm temperate Northern Hemisphere, and is naturalized in urban areas of the United States, where it hybridises to some extent with the U.S. native Red Mulberry (Morus rubra). | | | The White Mulberry, scientific name Morus alba, is a short-lived, fast-growing, small to medium sized tree to 15-20 m tall, native to eastern Asia. | | | The fruit varies from white to pink in colour in many cultivated plants, but the natural fruit colour of the species in the wild is deep purple. |

| | Mulberry |
| | Mulberry is a dioecious species, composed of male (creamy) and female (green) flowers borne on separate trees in mid-spring (upper left). | | | As members of the Mulberry Family, they are also related to other species of Mulberry, and to Osage Orange (which, like the Mulberries, also has heavy wood with white sticky sap, a thin layer of sapwood, and heartwood that is bright yellow). | | | The tan twigs of Mulberry are rapidly growing and have prominent winter buds (lower left). |

| | Mulberry Madness |
| | Mulberries are dioecious, meaning that the flowering parts are on different trees—males and females—and the fruits and seeds are produced on the female plants. | | | The white mulberry is an import from China, where it has been cultivated for millennia as a food for silkworms, and there’s one a half-block from our house. | | | Except for the white mulberry, the berries mature to a dark purple color, nearly black. |

| | The buds are larger than on white mulberry and have a two-toned appearance with green and brown bud scales. | | | However, early settlers introduced the white or Russian mulberry and cultivated them both for their berries and as fodder for an attempted silkworm industry. | | | Usually it grows in narrow valleys and on lower north and east slopes. |

| | Red mulberry can tolerate different soils as long as they are fairly moist but well-drained. | | | Additional Comments: A red mulberry that grows in the Lampasas Cut Plains has leaves that are glossy on top and white and fuzzy underneath, with large fruit. | | | Since male and female mulberry flowers occur on different trees, it is best to avoid planting female trees where the juicy fruit and related bird droppings will be a problem. |

| | #2- if you have racoons, and where there is mulberry there are racoons, they set out the mulberry seeds with "fertilizer." hence, more mulberry trees. | | | Regarding Forest Farm the mulberries you purchased from them, if they stated they sold you red mulberry, I suspect they did. | | | I have a suggestion: all that wish to master the ID of mulberries, grow these two side by side and learn multiple ID differences between the two species in addition to relative hairiness (stems, buds, leaves, habit, flowering, fruiting, etc.). |

| | Plant Invaders of Mid-Atlantic Natural Areas |
| | White mulberry, a native of eastern Asia, was introduced during colonial times in an effort to establish a silkworm industry in the United States. | | | The ecological threats posed by white mulberry include its hybridization with and replacement of our native red mulberry (Morus rubra), the transmittal of a harmful root disease to red mulberry, and its ability to invade natural areas including fields, forest edges and roadsides. | | | Otherwise, cut the tree and grind the stump or cut and paint the stump with glyphosate; if very large, girdle the tree. |
