White mulberryThis tree is truly a bane for all, staining sidewalks crimson-purple, dirtying windshields, and seeding in every nook and cranny. It was initially imported for the production of silkworms (a failed prospect), and can be used as a source for latex. The extreme weedy nature of this species requires that this plant be removed from any and all landscapes.| Habit: | Rounded, dense, often with a leaning trunk | | Size: | 30-50' high | | Color: | Dark glossy green | | Texture: | Medium | | Hardiness: | Zone 4b USDA | | Habitat: | China, Japan | | Family: | Moraceae | |
