This is a non-fruiting form of the White Mulberry. It, too, is deciduous, with a dense, rounded crown. Large dark green leaves are deeply lobed and leathery. Fall color is hit-or-miss, as an early hard frost will turn the leaves brown before they can turn yellow. Provides dense shade. Grows 30 to 50 feet tal and wide.
Grow in rich, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Prune in late fall or winter to avoid bleeding. Tolerates heat, drought, and a somewhat wide range of soils, including alkaline ones. Shallow rooted. Non-fruiting mulberry are more drought tolerant than fruiting forms.
