Morus microphylla
Also called Mexican Mulberry, Littleleaf Mulberry, Mountain Mulberry
Morus microphylla, the Texas mulberry, is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae. It is a shrub or tree native to northern Mexico and to central and west Texas, southwestern Oklahoma, and the southern half of New Mexico and Arizona in the United States. It grows in canyons and on slopes, usually near streams, from 200–2,200 metres (660–7,220 feet) in elevation.
Morus microphylla is a shrub or tree, sometimes reaching 7.5 m (25 ft) in height. It has much smaller leaves than the other two species native to the US (M. alba and M. rubra), the blade usually less than 7 centimetres (2+3⁄4 inches) long; the leaves are dark green on top, paler and hairy on the bottom.. It is dioecious (that is, each plant has only male or only female flowers), with clusters of tiny flowers appearing in spring along with the leaves.
