Himalayan Mulberry (Morus serrata) is a species of mulberry native to the Himalaya and the mountains of southwestern China, at altitudes of up to 2300 m.
It is a small deciduous tree growing to 15 m tall. The leaves are 10-14 cm long and 6-10 cm broad and are densely hairy on the veins underneath, with the upper surface hairless. The edible fruit is a 2-3 cm long compound cluster of several small drupes that are red when ripe.
It is considered by some authorities to be a variety or subspecies of White Mulberry (Morus alba), and is also similar to Black Mulberry (Morus nigra).
