The weeping mulberry (Morus alba pendula) has a gracefully cascading habit, adding an elegant classic touch while offering architectural character. It is particularly practical for picking. The younger ones come away with purple-stained faces. The fruit starts off white, then turns pink, then red, and finally ripens to black. For those looking to beat the birds to it, try the fruit before it fully ripens; it is already pleasantly sweet with no hint of acidity, and its less juicy texture will remind you of gummy candies.

The foliage turns yellow in the fall.
