Morus alba (White Mulberry)

Morus alba, commonly known as White Mulberry, is a deciduous tree native to China. It produces attractive, lobed leaves and clusters of small, white or pinkish fruit that are sweet and edible. The tree is valued for its fast growth, adaptability, and use in silkworm cultivation, as silkworms feed on its leaves. Additionally, White Mulberry has been used in traditional medicine and modern supplements for its potential health benefits, including supporting blood sugar regulation and antioxidant intake. Its hardy nature and environmental benefits also make it a popular choice for landscaping and erosion control.
