The amazing and prolific white, pink and light-purple fruit of this delightful 20-30' tree won't stain a patio like its dark-fruited cousins, but are absolutely delicious fresh or dried; white mulberries were brought from Asia for the silk industry (they are the larval food of silkworms); this variety is self-fertile and ripens in early summer.
