A rounded small tree or large shrub, growing to 8 m (25 ft) high, with large grey-green leaves. Small flowers are followed by mulberry-like, sweet edible orange-red fruits in autumn (on female trees - dioecious). The roots, leaves, bark and fruits are all used medicinally. Cultivated in Asia for the fibre made from its bark: can be beaten flat to make a cloth. Likes a sunny and sheltered site - hardy to -10°C.
The paper mulberry is one of the most adaptable and widely distributed tree species in the world. Used in Polynesia for making tapa cloth by macerating and pounding the inner bark, and in China and Japan for the making of paper. Introduced to Europe in 1750 and subsequently, North America. It is widely naturalized, particularly in the eastern US, as it is frost-hardy and reproduces both by root suckers and seed. Note the dimorphic leaves, some are irregularly lobed and others are completely unlobed. Male flowers are pendulous catkins and female are urn-shaped followed by small orange-red aggregate berries.
