Mulberry is quite a popular shrub which grows up to 10 meters high, with a picturesque appearance, spreading its branches usually wider than the height of it. The fruit is an oblong, red, short-stalked berry, which turns purple when ripe. It is very juicy and sweet. It usually grows in the backyard, by putting stem cuttings in the ground.
