Mulberry is a deciduous tree or shrub belonging to the genus Morus. It is known for its sweet, edible fruits, which resemble small blackberries and can be red, white, or black in color. The tree is native to warm regions of Asia, Africa, and the Americas, and it thrives in well-drained soil and full sunlight. Mulberries are often used in jams, jellies, and desserts. In addition to their culinary uses, mulberries are significant for their leaves, which are the primary food source for silkworms. This connection makes mulberry trees important in the silk production industry. The fruits are also rich in vitamins and antioxidants, contributing to their popularity in health foods.
