Morus nigra
Mulberry Tree
Common Name: Mulberry TreeLatin Name: Morus nigraSoil: Moist soilsPosition: Open sunFruit picking time: Late summerFruit size/colour: Medium sized wine coloured fruitsThe 'Morus nigra' is a beautiful fruit tree which features a wonderfully rounded crown and an intricate nest of low-spreading branches. The branches hold pretty heart-shaped green leaves in spring which, come autumn, fade to yellow. The idyllic leaves are accompanied by slightly acidic 'raspberry-like' berries which can be utilised for jellies, jams and wine. The sweetly scented berries are a great choice for a sensory garden and are also good for attracting wildlife. A fantastic disease-resistant tree which will add a burst of life to your garden. Ideally suited to a medium-large space.

The leaves are deeply cut and resemble ice crystals which gives them aesthetic value and they are deep green in colour in spring and summer and turn to a buttery yellow colour in autumn. The fruits are much smaller than some other fig varieties like 'Brown Turkey', but this tree more than makes up for that with its decorative foliage which is great for architectural value.
