Question 16

Answer 16

Mulberry

Leaves are about 8 cm long, coarse veins on the back of the leaf, heart /fleur de lis shape, with toothed edges. Can be hairy on top and downy underneath. Some lower leaves and those on new shoots can be lobed, or with deep incisions. There can be several different leaf forms on a single tree.

Fruit looks a bit like a large blackberry or loganberry. These “berries” are really drupes, consisting of a cluster of tiny fruits, each with a seed. Starts green, then turns pink and dark purple when ripe (July-September in Britain). Delicious, sweet/sour, very juicy and stains fingers and clothes!
