Mulberry trees are deciduous trees belonging to the genus Morus. They are known for their broad leaves and sweet, edible fruits that can be red, white, or black. These trees can grow up to 30 feet tall and thrive in a variety of soil types, making them adaptable to different environments. The fruits of mulberry trees are often enjoyed fresh, dried, or used in jams and desserts. Additionally, the leaves of some species, particularly the white mulberry, are a primary food source for silkworms, which are essential for silk production. Mulberry trees also provide shade and habitat for various wildlife.
