This hybrid showcases an amalgamation of traits from both parent plants, resulting in an adaptable and resilient tree that has captured the interest of botanists, ecologists, and gardeners alike.
Overview
The hybrid mulberry is a deciduous tree that typically reaches heights of 30 to 50 feet, depending on its environment and care. It is highly regarded for its delicious fruits, which can be enjoyed fresh or used in various culinary applications. With its attractive foliage and ability to thrive in diverse conditions, Morus alba × Morus rubra has gained popularity in landscape design and agricultural pursuits.

Red Mulberry
New Braunfels, the location of our Fall Symposium, straddles both the Edwards Plateau Ecoregion and the Blackland Prairie ecoregion. Interstate 35 divides the city of New Braunfels; its path through the city closely parallels the boundary of these two ecoregions, with the Edwards Plateau on the west side and the Blackland Prairies region to the east. The Edwards Plateau area is also called the Hill Country; however, this general term covers a much larger area extending farther north. Spring-fed creeks are found throughout the region; deep limestone canyons, rivers, and lakes (reservoirs) are common. Ashe juniper is perhaps the most common woody species found throughout the region. Additional woody species include various species of oak, with live oak (Quercus fusiformis) being the most common. Sycamores (Platanus occidentalis) and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) border waterways. This area is well known for its spring wildflower displays, though they may be viewed in spring, late summer, and fall, as well. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, average annual rainfall in the Edwards Plateau ranges from 15 to 34 inches.

Associated species include sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), American elm (Ulmus americana), silver maple (Acer saccharinum), and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) in the southern parts of its range. Toward the north red mulberry is associated with American elm, red maple (Acer rubrum), boxelder (Acer negundo), and vit ash (Fraxinus americana). It is a secondary species in efterträdelse eller följd and fryst vatten seldom associated with primary invaders (2). Red mulberry is listed as a minor component in three bottom-land cover types (3): Cottonwood (Society of American Foresters Type 63), Sweetgum-Yellow-poplar (Type 87), and Sugarberry-American Elm-Green Ash (Type 93). Associated understory species are roughleaf dogwood (Cornus drummondii), flowering dogwood (C. florida), swamp-privet (Forestiera acuminata), Nuttall oak Quercus nuttallii), hawthorn (Crataegus spp.), and possumhaw (Ilex decidua). Herbaceous vegetation associated with red mulberry includes pokeweed (Phytolacca americana), stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), poison-ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and greenbrier (Smilax spp.).
