Description

Morus alba 'Pendula' is a deciduous tree. This fast growing tree can reach 6'-15' tall and wide, but often smaller. Leaves are 6" long and nearly as wide, often lobed. This tree has a distinct weeping form which makes it a great specimen. Greenish white flowers bloom in spring, followed by berry like fruit, which birds enjoy. Flowers are considered insignificant.
