Description

Christian, T. & Coles, P. (2022), 'Morus alba × rubra' from the website Trees and Shrubs Online (treesandshrubsonline.org/articles/morus/morus-alba-x-rubra/). Accessed 2024-07-15.

A culinary mulberry selected for its hardiness, vigour, a long cropping season lasting several weeks, and for its nearly seedless, very sweet, black fruits (Jacobson 1996Hatch 2021–2022). This chance hybrid was discovered by Peter Glaser of Evansville, Indiana, in White County, Illinois, in 1947 and commercialised in 1958, but it is now more commonly cultivated in Europe than in the US. It bears a far greater resemblance to M. alba than M. rubra (Andrews, Feltwell & Lane 2012).
