Mulberry trees are deciduous trees belonging to the genus Morus. They are known for their fast growth and can reach heights of 30 to 50 feet. The trees produce small, sweet fruits that resemble blackberries and come in various colors, including white, red, and black. These fruits are edible and attract birds and other wildlife. Mulberry trees thrive in a variety of soil types and prefer full sun. They are often used in landscaping for their shade and ornamental value. Additionally, the leaves of some mulberry species are a primary food source for silkworms, making them important in silk production.
