Loc.: East Kameng district, Arunachal Pradesh (ca 250msl) Date: July, 2008 Notes: Well known for its timber value. Mulberry tree seen with long fruits in the Bhimtal area on 23/3/13. Is this the Himalyan Mulberry, Morus macroura? Kindly confirm. Looks close to Morus alba.... The fruits looked a little longer to me. I know the Mulberry that is usually seen with smaller fruit. So wanted to clear my doubts. Morus macroura. Thanks for confirming the id. Mulberries shown by ... in Lalbagh on 15/11/14. I was given to understand they are White Mulberries. For validation. Is it not Morus alba. Morus alba- Shahtoot I think it is Morus macroura Miq. as catkins are very long and as per images herein. References:
