Black Mulberry tree in United States
Well, my mother and I had a black mulberry tree (supposedly) in our community garden before the community gardens were split in half, giving the tree to another gardener. I don't see black mulberries listed as being able to grow in the United States in this article, but is it possible? Note, this is in Madison, Wisconsin.... 68.190.126.174 (talk) 17:06, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Differentiating between M. alba and M. nigra
I see there is a lot of confusion regarding this topic, also that there are many images showing M. alba fruits and claiming it's M. nigra just because it is black. Black-fruiting mulberry trees can be identified based on their leaves, alba leaves are fresh green, the dorsal side is smooth and gleamy, the leaf stalk is longer and has a dorsal canal in it while the nigra leaves have very short stem without any calal and the dorsal side is not smooth (a bit rough actually) the color is deeper, grayish green.

The common name often leads to confusion, M. nigra is very rare in Europe and is not adventive in contary to M. alba which spreads quickly and is a common weed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kormoraan (talk • contribs) 15:03, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

The Iberian Peninsula
The first sentence includes: "Morus nigra ... is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae that is native to southwestern Asia and the Iberian Peninsula, ...". Plants of the World Online explains that M. nigra is native to only Iran, and that it has been introduced into a number of countries, including Spain.

Incidentally, the number of chromosomes is stated both in the lead section, and under Description. Maidenhair (talk) 16:40, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Cultivation
All info are very interesting and mostly useless. What we want to know is soil, climate, water requirements, chilling hours and alike, necessary to grow it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.70.29.185 (talk) 11:16, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
