Factsheet F25: Cudrania tricuspidata – Chinese mulberry
£1.00
The Chinese mulberry, che, or silkworm thorn is related to mulberries (Morus spp.) and to the osage orange (Maclura pomifera), and is one of a small number of Cudrania species native to Eastern Asia and the S.W.Pacific. It is yet another example of a fruit that Chinese and other Asian cultures have grown and appreciated for centuries, but has been little known elsewhere until recent times.
