The trunk initially has an orange color which gradually turns grey, while the bark peels, creating ridges. The leaves are large (up to 18 cm in length), simple, smooth, dark green in color, with a heart-shaped base, lobed tip, and serrated margin. They grow alternately and turn yellow during the autumn season. The root system is strong and well-developed.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; column_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; title=&#8221;Reproduction&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1771591801014-4-11771656793597&#8243; slug=&#8221;reproduction&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;small&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;111468&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(flowering period, flowers, seeds)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although the species is dioecious, the trees of the pendula variety are exclusively female (there is also a sterile line). They produce small flowers which are organized in inflorescences called spikes (catkins). Flowering takes place in March and April. Fertilized female flowers produce edible fruits, which are syncarps, consisting of many small fruits named drupes, each containing a seed. They can be white, red, or black in color. The specific epithet &#8220;alba&#8221; of the official name is attributed to the fruit color, which in Latin means white.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; column_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; title=&#8221;Noteworthy characteristics&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1771591901860-5-01771656793597&#8243; slug=&#8221;characteristics&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;small&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;165166&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The weeping mulberry can also be produced using the grafting technique, on a trunk approximately 2 m high.

The most famous work concerning the genus Morus is Van Gogh\u2019s painting, &#8220;The Mulberry Tree&#8221;. In the hall of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan, Leonardo Da Vinci painted a canopy of mulberries: sixteen trees forming foliage. The choice of the Mulberry is not accidental, as its Latin name is Morus and was related to the nickname of the patron of the work, Duke Ludovico Sforza, who was called &#8220;il Moro&#8221;. In the poem by John Heath-Stubbs titled &#8220;The Mulberry Tree&#8221;, the Mulberry is referred to as a place of gathering and memory.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery
