The Black mulberry is a tree generally grown for its delicious fruit. Although it grows rapidly when young, it soon slows its growth and rarely exceeds 40 feet tall. The fruit is black when ripe and looks similar to a blackberry.

The leaves are simple in outline with a slightly serrated edge.

The fruits gradually turn from bright red to black as they ripen. They look like blackberries but have a distinctive perfumed taste.

This medium sized tree is often plnated in parks and on housing estates. It is native to Northern Europe.

It's crown is dome shaped. The leaves are green on the top side but grey underneath with dense white hairs. The red fruit are a reminder that this species is related to Rowan.

The berries turn red during autumn and are eaten by thrushes and waxwings, they are rather dry.
