White mulberry (Morus alba) differs from Common or Black Mulberry by having longer-stalked berries and leaves which are hairless (rather than slightly hairy) on the underside. It is a native of China but has become naturalised in the Mediterranean. Its berries taste sweet well before they are ripe. Its leaves feed silkworms.
