Morus alba, commonly known as Russian Mulberry, is a hardy, fast-growing deciduous tree that produces small to medium-sized black or dark purple fruit. The berries have a mildly sweet flavor, perfect for fresh eating, preserves, or attracting wildlife. Russian Mulberry trees are extremely cold-tolerant, drought-resistant, and can thrive in a wide range of soil conditions. This vigorous tree also serves as an excellent windbreak in open landscapes.
