Mulberry trees combat mosquitoes and promote good health

Morus nigra, called black mulberry or blackberry, is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae that is native to southwestern Asia and the Iberian Peninsula, where it has been cultivated for so long that its precise natural range is unknown. The black mulberry is known for its large number of chromosomes.

Black mulberry is a tree of a relatively fast growth rate. It is estimated that it grows even 1 meter per year. For this reason, if you want it to remain a short plant, make sure to trim it every year.

In late summer to early fall, it bears edible, oval, succulent, dark purplish-red fruits, 1 in. long (2.5 cm). Large and juicy, with a blend of sweetness and tartness, they are superior in taste to the white mulberry, Morus alba, and are used for marmalade, syrup, and jellies.

Young leaves can be eaten after cooking. You can also take mulberry leaf supplements, which have become increasingly popular for their potential health benefits. Additionally, these leaves are the sole food source of the silkworm — a caterpillar that produces silk — and sometimes used as feed for dairy animals
They're a good source of iron, vitamin C, and several plant compounds and have been linked to lower cholesterol, blood sugar, and cancer risk. These berries have also been used in Chinese herbal medicine for thousands of years to treat various illnesses, though evidence to support their effectiveness is weak.
