Mulberry , known botanically as Morus , is a species of flowering and fruiting trees that contains several cultivars . Mulberry Tree are commonly dioecian , meaning that they are manlike or distaff , and the female - bearing Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree postulate the pollen of the male , non - bearing tree diagram to set fruit . The leaves on the metal money are medium to big , dark-green and in a shape the looks like a cross between a maple and a common fig leaf . The right fruit that arrive in summer are red , purple , disastrous or white in hue and resemble blackberry .

According to Virginia Tech , mulberry trees are pocket-size , reach just 60 animal foot in height at maturity date , and possess a short body with a abject branch line . The departure between the male and female efflorescence is quite subtle and sometimes difficult to recognise , as they flower at the same time .

Step 1

Inspect your mulberry tree Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree carefully and often in the late leaping from mid - April through May , when both the male and female mulberry flowers , known as catkin , will look .

Step 2

Look for wan gullible , slightly sharpen , clustered , hanging catkin between 1 and 2 in in length , as these are the virile catkins . Female catkins are the same semblance and ecumenical course but are shorter , at a maximum of 1 in in distance .

Step 3

wait for catkin on the trees that have a slimmer , more narrow profile and are longer than the others . Female catkins are not only short than the male flower , but wider in diameter by 1/8 inch to 1/4 column inch , making them look plump when compared to the virile catkins .

Step 4

mold a female mulberry tree tree diagram by fruits that will appear on the tree in clusters in from springiness to late summer , depending on the cultivar . Black mulberries ripen in the summer , while red and white do so in leap . Male trees will have no fruit .
