Morus rubra
The Red Mulberry (Morus rubra) is a native deciduous tree found in North America, known for its sweet, red to purple-black berries that ripen in early summer. These berries are edible and attract birds and wildlife. The tree has broad, heart-shaped leaves with a rough texture, which turn yellow in the fall. The bark is dark and furrowed, adding visual interest to the tree. Red Mulberries thrive in a variety of soil types, including moist, well-drained soils, and prefer full sun to partial shade. It’s a great choice for gardens, wildlife habitats, and orchards, offering both beauty and food for local fauna.
