This mulberry is a real 'all-rounder' as it valued for both its fruits, its ornamental foliage and its structure. The mulberries are white, but sometimes with a pink-lilac blush; the fruits can be enjoyed fresh or they can be made into a jam or preserve. The deeply divided mid-dark green leaves are serrated at the edge, which adds ornamental interest, and they later turn to crisp shades of yellow before falling. In terms of structure, the 'laciniata' will eventually form a handsome upright-spreading tree with an eventual height of around 6m and an eventual spread of around 3m.
