Morus nigra, commonly known as the black mulberry, is a deciduous tree renowned for its dark, sweet, and juicy fruit. Typically growing to a height of 10-12 meters, it has a broad, spreading canopy with heart-shaped, serrated leaves that provide ample shade. In late spring to early summer, the tree produces small, inconspicuous greenish-white flowers that develop into clusters of deep purple to black berries. These berries are highly prized for fresh eating, baking, and preserves. Black mulberry thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, demonstrating good drought tolerance once established, making it a valuable addition to orchards and large gardens.
