Morus nigra

Morus nigra, commonly known as black mulberry, is a deciduous tree native to the Middle East and parts of Asia. It produces sweet, dark purple to black fruits that are edible and often used in jams, desserts, and beverages. The tree has heart-shaped leaves and can grow up to 30 feet tall. Black mulberries thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, making them popular in gardens and orchards. Additionally, the tree's wood is valued for its durability, and its leaves are the preferred food for silkworms, which are essential for silk production.
