Mulberry trees were treasured a valuable fruit tree in the ancient civilizations for feeding families, fattening livestock and feeding wildlife animals. Basically there are 3 color types of mulberries, black (Morus nigra), red (Morus rubrum) and white (Morus alba), each type being edible. Improved hybrid mulberrry cultivars are often grafted on red mulberry root-stock to dwarf the tree, making the trees ideal for planting in small backyard gardens. Very often hybrid trees bear the 1st year.
