Brought to Britain by the Romans and widely planted by James I, who wished to establish a silk industry – only to find that silkworms feed exclusively on the White Mulberry!
A medium tree of great dignity and beauty, it has a gnarled, rugged trunk and most attractive, heart shaped leaves.
The deep purple fruits, which look like large loganberries are tasty and have a variety of culinary uses. It has a domed, rounded habit, giving it a most architectural appeal.
Very long-lived, but not as slow growing as is often supposed.
Mature height: 3-7m
Mature spread: 3-7m
