Wild mulberries spread readily across yards and orchards where apples and peaches are grown. Three species produce fruit: red Morus rubra, white Morus alba, and black Morus nigra, with varied leaf shapes and colors. The red is native to America with nearly black ripe fruit. white fruits are very sweet and range from creamy white to almost black. black mulberry is native to western Asia and best flavored, though climate sensitive.

Disease and insect issues are rare, and mulberry is noted for hardiness and prolific fruiting.
