Morus spp. The Mulberry genus is sprawling and always inbreeding with its cousins, so the taxonomy is not straight-forward. But the value of the trees in the landscape is evident--they're fast, easy, and bear large crops of juicy berries for humans and other wildlife.

The Persian mulberry, Morus nigra, is favored by gardeners across Iran and the Caucasus. Most dried mulberries are this species. Morus alba, the Chinese white mulberry, produces leaves used by silkworms. This species offers little value to gardeners and is considered a pest in some areas. However, some of its hybrids are valuable garden stalwarts. Morus rubra is found across the Midwest and Eastern U.S. Anyone who grew up there has fond memories of mulberry picking followed by jumping in a nearby lake to wash off the juice. All are bird magnets.

The genus is fast growing to 20'-30' feet, with large heart-shaped leaves and bountiful fruit. Self-fertile, deciduous, adaptable. Full sun, average water. Not suitable for street trees. Gardeners in Southern states contend with a variety of pests and diseases that prey on this genus, so not ideal for that region. Zones 4-9.
