Morus alba 'Laciniata' – Morus alba 'Laciniata'

View prices and availability
Grows from a large shrub into a medium-size tree from 5 to 8 m tall. By nature often multi-stem. The crown is open and has quite tangled branching. The young twigs are grey-green and strikingly curved to zigzag. The leaf is ovate and entire to irregularly lobed and dissected. In many cases only one half of the leaf is dissected while the other half is entire. The tip of the leaf tapers to a long point and the margin is serrated-crenated. Turns yellow in autumn. Morus alba is naturally monoecious and ‘Laciniata’ is a female cultivar. After the inconspicuous blossom, mulberries may form. They are creamy white to lilac, slightly smaller than the species. They are edible like the species. Saplings are sensitive to frost. Preferably plant in a sunny, warm and sheltered site. Favours calcareous soils and grows in infertile soil.
