CHAPARRAL WEEPING FRUITLESS MULBERRY

Morus alba ‘Chaparral’

Compared to the more common Pendula cultivar, Chaparral has a lot to offer.  Its superior traits include: finer-textured, lobed leaves that look like miniature fig leaves, true sterility (no messy fruits), and a more refined habit in general.  The plant, if left to its own devices, forms a sprawling mound or groundcover.  It can of course be trained to any desired height and from there its elegant branches will cascade down.  The trunk can be trained straight or serpentine and with our own-rooted transplants, you’ll never have the unsightly off-type suckers of budded or grafted trees.  Hardiness to  USDA zones 4 or 5.
