Paper mulberry

Decidious tree of a rapid growth, it can reach a height of 12 - 15 m. Alternate and simple leaves of variable shapes depending on ripeness. The fruit is of an orange-reddish colour, made up of small and fleshy fruits grouped in a globose infructescence called blackberry.

The crust is made up of very strong fibers with morphologic characteristics similar to flax and hemp so it is used to manufacture high quality paper, especially handmade.
