Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Morus alba is the mulberry famed as the food source for the silk worm. They can have the leaves, but us humans will take the fruit which can be white, pink or black in this species. 'Oscar' is said to be one of the finest tasting of all mulberries. The early-ripening fruit can also be eaten when red when they taste like raspberries or when black when they offer their rich, blackberry-like flavour. The fruit are also popular with birds and other wildlife. Mulberries are fast-growing trees.

This is truly a choice Mulberry for connoisseurs! The fine fruit can be eaten red when it is more raspberry like, or wait until it is black for the deeper, richer blackberry flavor. Makes a perfect fruit for eating fresh or for pies and preserves. This 25-35' tree is a beautiful ornamental as well with its large deep-green, heart-shaped leaves and fine yellow fall color. S/M
