Botanically known as Morus spp., the Mulberry tree is a deciduous plant prized for its sweet, juicy fruits and ornamental value. Native to Asia, Europe, and North America, Mulberries belong to the Moraceae family and are cultivated for their delicious berries, which come in various colors, including black, red, and white. The Mulberry tree typically grows up to 30 feet in height, with a spreading canopy of glossy, serrated leaves that provide ample shade during the hot summer months.
Mulberries are celebrated for their rich, sweet-tart flavor and are enjoyed fresh, dried, or used in jams, jellies, pies, and other culinary creations. Beyond their culinary uses, Mulberries offer a wide array of health benefits, making them a nutritious addition to any diet.
