Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

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.
