Morus nigra, commonly known as Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry, is a historic fruit tree valued for its rich, sweet, dark purple to black berries enjoyed fresh or in preserves. Native to Southwest Asia, it has been cultivated for centuries and is prized in traditional gardens and orchards worldwide. The tree’s large, glossy leaves and robust form make it a beautiful addition to any landscape, while its fruit offers a unique flavor that stands apart from other mulberries. With a legacy steeped in history and culture, Morus nigra remains a favorite for fruit enthusiasts and collectors alike, and are perfect for container gardening or edible landscaping.
