The mulberry is a deciduous tree or shrub belonging to the genus Morus. It produces small, sweet, and edible fruits that can be red, white, or black in color. Mulberries are often enjoyed fresh, dried, or used in jams and desserts. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to the diet.
Mulberry trees thrive in temperate and subtropical regions around the world. They are commonly found in gardens and orchards, and their leaves are the primary food source for silkworms, which are essential for silk production. The trees are also valued for their shade and ornamental qualities.
