Description: 30++ Black Mulberry Seeds (Morus nigra) Easy to grow/careOrganic, Heirloom, No Pesticides, USA grown, Harvested April 2024 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 animalsThey'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.No seeds will come stratified as they are just harvested, these will be regular seeds when they arrive.

You should not use the information provided here for diagnosing or treating a health problem or disease or prescribing any medication or other treatment. *SEEDS DISCLAIMER* Most specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate. Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times, it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or soil/water/lighting.
