Morus mongolica
Morus mongolica is a wild, uncultivated mulberry tree from mountain forests of Mongolia, China, Korea and Japan, reaching about 8 metres. It is rarely grown in gardens, so its care is based on general mulberry practice.
Morus mongolica, also described as Morus alba var. mongolica, is a woody plant native to mountain forests in Mongolia, China, Korea, and Japan. Common names include Mongolian mulberry, meng sang (China), and ilama by native people in the namesake region of Mongolia. Similar to M. notabilis, M. mongolica is an uncultivated (wild, undomesticated) mulberry.
Its native range is the mountains of Mongolia, China, Korea, and Japan.
The fruits have been recorded as being consumed by Mongol herdsmen.
