Mulberry with Long fruits : Uttarakhand : 020613 : AK-4 : Attachments (3).  5 posts by 3 authors.

Mulberry tree seen with long fruits in the Bhimtal area on 23/3/13.

Is this the Himalyan Mulberry, Morus macroura?

Kindly confirm.


Looks close to Morus alba….


The fruits looked a little longer to me.
I know the Mulberry that is usually seen with smaller fruit.

So wanted to clear my doubts.


Morus macroura.


Thanks for confirming the id.

Thanks for the suggested id.
This Mulberry tree was seen at a higher elevation in the mountains, known as Jabal Akhdar famous for its Pomegranates.
The highest point is around 9,800 feet.

I had sent these pictures to Dr Shahina Ghazanfar of Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and Dr Annette Patzelt of Oman Botanic Garden.
Both feel that Morus nigra and Morus alba are commonly cultivated here.
Unfortunately, this place is very far away from the city, it was not possible to revisit and see the ripe fruits.


It is clearly M. macroura with infl longer than 5 cm and acuminate leaves.
