Description
The ‘Morus alba pendula’ is a beautiful weeping tree that is perfect for producing fruit in a smaller space. This tree matures to produce a dome of weeping branches that go from the top of the tree (around 3.5m in height when mature) down to the ground. Masses of heart-shaped, glossy, serrated, bright-green leaves adorn the pendulous branches. Green spring catkins later become white-pink mulberry fruits. The fruits are perfectly edible and can be enjoyed fresh, or you can make them into a jam or preserve. Alternatively, you can leave the fruits on the tree for the birds to enjoy.
Due to its weeping frame, this mulberry makes a fantastic structural tree and it should be planted in a sunny spot so that it can thrive.
Common Name: Weeping White Mulberry
