The Red Mulberry (*Morus rubra*) is a deciduous tree native to North America, particularly found in the eastern United States. It typically grows between 30 to 60 feet tall and features broad, heart-shaped leaves. The tree produces small, sweet, dark purple to black fruits that resemble blackberries and are edible for both humans and wildlife.
Red Mulberry trees thrive in a variety of soil types and prefer sunny locations. They are often found in forests, along riverbanks, and in open fields. The fruit is not only enjoyed by birds and mammals but is also used in jams, jellies, and desserts, making it a valuable addition to local ecosystems and culinary traditions.
