Common nameWeeping White Mulberry 'Chaparral'
FamilyMoraceae
TypeOrnamental tree
Botanical name*Morus alba* 'Chaparral'

Morus alba ‘Chaparral’, known as the Chaparral weeping mulberry, is a small ornamental tree grafted on a standard, recognized for its strongly weeping habit and elegant parasol-shaped silhouette. Its long, flexible branches gracefully cascade towards the ground, creating a dense and decorative crown that brings a remarkable architectural effect to landscape gardens. Its deciduous foliage is composed of large, bright green leaves, sometimes slightly lobed, which turn a beautiful yellow in autumn. This male variety is sterile and does not produce fruit, making it an excellent choice for landscaping where one wishes to avoid stains caused by fallen mulberries. Morus alba ‘Chaparral’ is highly appreciated as an accent tree, near terraces or in small gardens, where its weeping form creates an elegant focal point throughout the season.
