Black mulberry
Scientific Name: – Morus nigra
Morus nigra, the black mulberry, is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae, native to southwestern Asia, where it has been cultivated for so long that its precise natural range is unknown.[1] It is known for its large number of chromosomes, as it has 154 pairs (308 individuals).
The edible fruit is dark purple, almost black, when ripe, 2?3 centimetres (0.8?1.2 in) long, a compound cluster of several small drupes; it is richly flavoured, similar to the red mulberry (Morus rubra) but unlike the more insipid fruit of the white mulberry (Morus alba).
