Black mulberry tree, Morus Nigra

The fruit can be eaten raw, cooked or used in preserves. A delicious slightly acid flavour, it makes an excellent dessert fruit and can be eaten in quantity. The fruit is juicy and refreshing, though it must be used as soon as it is ripe (from mid-August to September) otherwise it will start to rot.

The fruit falls from the tree as soon as it is fully ripe. It is best, therefore, to grow the tree in short grass to cushion the fall of the fruit but to still make it possible to find and harvest.

The fruit can also be dried and ground into a powder.

A fibre used in weaving is obtained from the bark.

A red-violet to dark purple dye is obtained from the fruit. A yellow-green dye is obtained from the leaves.

Wood can be used in joinery. 

There are many medicinal uses as well (click the link to find out more).
