Morus nigra, commonly known as Black Mulberry, is a deciduous tree native to Southwest Asia. It is highly prized for its sweet and flavorful fruits and is cultivated in many parts of the world. Black Mulberry trees are medium to large in size and have a spreading canopy of dark green, serrated leaves.

Black Mulberry fruits are small to medium-sized, round, and dark purple or black when fully ripe. They have a sweet, rich flavor that is often described as a blend of blackberry, raspberry, and grape. The fruits are juicy and delicious, making them a favorite for fresh eating, jams, jellies, and desserts.
