Experience the allure of Morus nigra, Black Mulberry, a stunning deciduous tree known for its exceptional fruit quality and charming aesthetics. Native to western Asia and steadfastly cultivated through the ages, Black Mulberry is renowned in gardens for both its beauty and culinary versatility. This incredible fruit producer, thriving in USDA zones 7-10, grows rapidly, reaching impressive heights of 30-40 feet.

Admire its broad crown adorned with heart-shaped, dark green leaves that transition to a brilliant yellow in fall. Come spring, slender branches reveal inconspicuous flowers, eventually giving way to clusters of luscious, purplish-black berries bursting with a unique blend of sweetness and tartness. These delectable fruits, strikingly similar to seedless blackberries, are celebrated for their use in marmalades, syrups, and jellies.

Perfect for drought-smart gardens, Black Mulberry thrives in well-drained, sunny locations and supports diverse wildlife with its early spring fruiting. With no routine pruning needed, this pest-resistant ornamental marvel is a wind-pollinated wonder, easy to propagate by seed. Transform your garden with Morus nigra, the epitome of elegance and flavor!
