Description

Yugoslavia is a traditional Mulberry found growing throughout the region of the former country of Yugoslavia. The fruits are red or black, and produced from a relatively early age.

The fruits fall to the ground as soon as they are ripe, which saves the effort of climbing the tree for harvest.

The Yugoslavia mulberry is thought to be a natural hybrid of the white mulberry (Morus alba) and the plane tree mulberry (Morus kagayamae). One of the characteristics of the latter is the tendency for the fruits to drop to the ground when ripe.
