Morus alba 'Chaparral' (Cutleaf Weeping Mulberry) - This is a weeping fruitless mulberry with branches that droop all the way to the ground forming a graceful silhouette 8-12 ft. tall and 15 ft. wide. The leaves are deeply cut and dark green turning yellow in the fall. This deciduous tree is beautiful in the winter garden. This is such an unusual plant we had to find a place to plant one in the garden - you should too! It is hardy well below 0 °F (USDA Zone 5 and warmer Zone 4). We grew this plant from 2000 until 2005 and, except for the plant in the ground, no longer have it in the nursery. 

The information about Morus alba 'Chaparral' that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.

 
San Marcos Growers, established in 1979, will close at the end of 2025 so that the property can be developed for affordable housing.
