Morus alba Pendula, commonly known as Weeping White Mulberry, is a cultivar of the Morus genus, which includes mulberry trees. It is a deciduous tree with a distinctive weeping or pendulous habit, making it a popular ornamental tree in gardens and landscapes.
The Morus alba Pendula tree typically grows to a height of 6-8 feet (1.8-2.4 meters) with a similar spread, although it can sometimes grow taller under optimal conditions. Its branches have a graceful weeping form, with long, cascading branches that droop towards the ground, giving it a unique and elegant appearance.
The leaves of Morus alba Pendula are typically lobed and serrated, with a glossy green color. In the fall, the leaves may turn yellow before dropping, adding a splash of color to the landscape. The tree is dioecious, meaning that it produces male and female flowers on separate trees. The female trees may also produce small, edible fruits that resemble blackberries or raspberries, although they are not typically as sweet or flavorful as those of other mulberry species.
