Black Persian Mulberry Tree		Persian Black Mulberry Tree

Persian Mulberry Trees reportedly came directly from the magnificent gardens of the Shah of Iran, before he was deposed by the Anatolia Khomeini when he returned from exile in Paris, France. The weight of the large clusters of Persian mulberries, plus the weight of the leaves, brings the limbs low to the ground for easy harvesting of the mulberry crop. The Persian mulberry keeps well for extended periods of time in the refrigerator. Many desserts are made from the Persian mulberries along with sauces, pie-making, cakes and jelly. The Persian mulberry is widely admired and reportedly grown extensively in Russia on collective farms for fresh fruit and canning. The Persian cultivar can grow 20 feet tall, and the berries can be harvested by shaking the trees and collecting the mulberries on sheets beneath the tree.
