The Red Mulberry tree, Morus Rubra, is a medium-sized tree, reaching approximately 50, and occasionally, 70 feet in height. The trunk can reach a diameter of up to two feet. The broad, rounded crown consists of many shorter branches, making red mulberry a desirable shade tree. It is a rapid-growing tree.
The tree's value is derived from its abundant fruits, which are eaten by people, birds, and small mammals. Red mulberry is found on a variety of sites in the East and Central U.S. and is tolerant of shade. The fruit is an edible red-purple drupe that resembles blackberry. It has dark green leaves, and the fall color of the leaves is yellow.
