| | 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 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. | | | 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. |

| | 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 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. |

| | Animal Feeding Practices In China nearly 100% of the mulberry cultivated is used for silkworm feeding only. | | | If the mulberry is newly planted in January, the first crop of leaf can be harvest in May and the leaf yield of the first year can reach 26,250 kg/ha. | | | Planting density depends on the variety of mulberry, soil and climatic conditions, fertilization and irrigation etc. In Zhejiang, east China, in order to harvest leaf 26,250 kg/ha, the recommended planting density is 10,500 ~ 15,000 plants/ha, with the trunk height 0.5 ~ 0.8 m, effective shoots 90,000 ~ 105,000, total length of shoots 120,000 m. |

| | In India, mulberry is either grown as a field crop (plants kept in form of bushes and the leaves harvested several times a year for the multivoltine race of silkworms) or as a tree (leaves harvested only once a season for rearing univoltine races of silkworms). | | | For bush mulberries, seedlings 10–15 cm tall are used as transplants; for trees, seedlings are allowed to grow 1.3 m and trained before transplanting. | | | Native of China, white mulberry is cultivated throughout the world wherever silkworms are raised, and is occasionally cultivated elsewhere in Europe, North America, and Africa. |

| | White mulberry is native to Asia and was introduced in colonial times as a food source for silkworms. | | | White mulberry is very similar to the native red mulberry but can be distinguished by the flower color (whitish flowers for white mulberry) and the leaves. | | | It poses an ecological threat by displacing native species, possibly hybridizing with and transmitting a root disease to the native red mulberry. |

| | The mulberry currently cultivated for its leaves to feed the Bombyx mori, is mostly M. alba, with its various varieties and spontaneous hybrids. | | | The real development, in Italy and in Europe, of the mulberry cultivation with M. alba was determined to its link with sericulture, which made the cultivation of mulberry not only relevant, but also generalised in the territory of the peninsula and in few other European states (Greece, France and Spain). | | | Most agree that the two main species of mulberry, the Black Mulberry (Morus nigra) and White Mulberry (M. alba) come from Asia, the first one from Persia and the second one from the Far East. |
