    These striking twisted branches, much used in floral arrangement, are just as eye-catching ON the plant itself silhouetted in winter; large shiny leaves are handsome and fine for silk worms!; a fast-growing small tree to 25'. S/M

    (CONTORTED MULBERRY) Fast growing small tree to 20’, spreading as wide or wider than tall with curving, twisting branches that are coveted for arrangements. Typical mulberry leaves (have any silkworms to feed?), rarely fruits. Tough, will grow just about anywhere, any soil, with or without water. Best left to do its own thing. USDA Z5

    This tree is not contorted like Snakethorn or Contorted Filbert, it is more wavy, but growing wider than tall (20'10), it is a graceful tree.
