Mulberries are fast-growing when young, and can grow to 24 metres (80 ft) tall.[2][4] The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, and often lobed and serrated on the margin. Lobes are more common on juvenile shoots than on mature trees.[2][4] The trees can be monoecious or dioecious.[4] The mulberry fruit is a multiple, about 2–3 cm (3⁄4–1 1⁄4 in) long.[2][4] Immature fruits are white, green, or pale yellow.[4] The fruit turns from pink to red while ripening, then dark purple or black, and has a sweet flavor when fully ripe. Mulberries can be grown from seed, and this is often advised, as seedling-grown trees are generally of better shape and health, but they are most often planted from large cuttings, which root readily. The mulberry plants allowed to grow tall have a crown height of 1.5 to 1.8 m (5 to 6 ft) from ground level and a stem girth of 10–13 cm (4–5 in). They are specially raised with the help of well-grown saplings 8–10 months old of any of the varieties recommended for rainfed areas like S-13 (for red loamy soil) or S-34 (black cotton soil), which are tolerant to drought or soil-moisture stress conditions. Usually, the plantation is raised and in block formation with a spacing of 1.8 by 1.8 m (6 by 6 ft), or 2.4 by 2.4 m (8 by 8 ft), as plant-to-plant and row-to-row distances. The plants are usually pruned once a year during the monsoon season to a height of 1.5–1.8 m (5–6 ft) and allowed to grow with a maximum of 8–10 shoots at the crown. Some North American cities have banned the planting of mulberries because of the large amounts of pollen they produce, posing a potential health hazard for some pollen allergy sufferers.[8] Actually, only the male mulberry trees produce pollen; this lightweight pollen can be inhaled deeply into the lungs, sometimes triggering asthma. | Mulberries are fast-growing when young, and can grow to 24 metres (80 ft) tall.[2][4] The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, and often lobed and serrated on the margin.
