The deciduous, medium-sized tree carries the broad, heart-shaped or oval, toothed, rough, dark-green leaves and the small, greenish catkins through the late spring, one of the fine, generous sights of the old garden, drawing the bees, to be followed by the small, round, clustered, white, pink or dark-purple, juicy fruits. The fruits have a very long record as the fine, sweet, juicy berries of the old tables, and the tree is a fine, historic presence of the old garden. It is a tree of the open, sunny, deep, moist, well-drained ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The mulberry is a historic subject of the plant science, and the clustered fruits keep showing up in the work on the fruit-bearing trees. The way the small, round, clustered, white, pink or dark-purple, juicy fruits form from the small, greenish catkins has been studied at length, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the fruit-bearing trees, the sweet berries and the members of the mulberry family. The broad, toothed leaves and the spreading habit have also made it a fine study tree, and the mulberry is a regular subject of the work on the clustered fruits of the warm world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The mulberry is a fine, generous tree of the old garden and the study collection. The small, round, clustered, white, pink or dark-purple, juicy fruits have a very long record as the fine, sweet, juicy berries of the old tables, the fresh fruits coming to the bowls, the jams, the pies and the cool drinks of the old kitchens, while the broad, heart-shaped or oval, toothed leaves feed the silkworms of the old silk houses. It is one of the fine choices for the old garden, the fruit patch and the study collection, and it has been written about in the culinary and the agricultural papers for the clustered fruits and the very long history. It is a fine, generous tree of the open, sunny, deep, moist, well-drained garden.

Give the young trees the deep, moist bed, and the dark fruits will come in the years to come.

To grow the mulberry from seed, sow the small, brown seeds a little under the surface of the tray of rich, gritty soil, keep the tray in a bright, open spot and water gently, then pot the young trees on as they fill the pot. The seedlings thread up within a few weeks and grow on steadily. With the sun and the deep, moist, well-drained ground, the dark fruits will come in the years to come.
