Morus alba 'Chaparral'

Weeping Mulberry

Tips for Homeowners:

Prune in late fall or winter when dormant when sap does not bleed.  Seedlings have a shallow root system that is easily pulled in order to reduce the spread or colonization.  Some tip dieback can occur in severe winters.

The species has male and female flowers on separate trees requiring the male tree to pollinate the flowers on the female tree that produces fruit. The fruit and bird droppings can be a nuisance which is why male trees are available for use in the landscape.
