Agriculture In India - Mulberry Tree

rica, the largest species in the genus, can reach a height of 21 meters (70 feet) and produces dark purple edible fruits. Its leaves can be two-lobed, three-lobed, or unlobed. The white mulberry (Morus alba), originally from Asia and extensively cultivated in southern Europe, is named for its white fruits and its leaves are used as silkworm feed. It has become naturalized in eastern North America. The black mulberry (Morus nigra), native to western Asia and introduced to North America, was once widely grown in Italy for silkworm cultivation until the white mulberry superseded it by the 15th century. Now, it is mainly valued for its large, juicy, purple-black fruits, which are considered superior in flavor to those of the red mulberry. Mulberries are rich in vitamin C, which boosts immunity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They also contain fiber, antioxidants, and flavonoids, promoting heart health.
