White mulberry

White mulberry (Morus alba) is a deciduous tree native to China, known for its lush, lobed leaves and edible white or pale yellow berries. Its fruits are sweet and often used in jams, desserts, and traditional medicines. The tree is valued for its rapid growth, adaptability, and role in silkworm cultivation, as silkworms feed on its leaves. Beyond sericulture, white mulberry is also appreciated for its potential health benefits, including antioxidants and blood sugar regulation. It thrives in various climates and soils, making it a versatile and useful plant in both agriculture and landscape settings.
