The leaves are alternate, 7–18 cm (2 + 3 ⁄ 4 –7 in) long (rarely to 36 cm or 14 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) and 8–12 cm (3 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) broad (about twice as big as the white mulberry's leaves), [3] simple, broadly cordate, with a shallow notch at the base, typically unlobed on mature trees although often with 2–3 lobes ...
Morus alba, known as white mulberry, common mulberry and silkworm mulberry, [2] is a fast-growing, small to medium-sized mulberry tree which grows to 10–20 m (33–66 ft) tall. It is generally a short-lived tree with a lifespan comparable to that of humans, although there are some specimens known to be more than 250 years old. [ 3 ]
Mulberry tree scion wood can easily be grafted onto other mulberry trees during the winter, when the tree is dormant. One common scenario is converting a problematic male mulberry tree to an allergy-free female tree, by grafting all-female mulberry tree scions to a male mulberry that has been pruned back to the trunk.

The leaves range from 4–12.5 centimetres (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 –5 inches) long and 2.5–7.5 cm (1–3 in) wide, and are attached to the tree via petioles. The leaves themselves are usually ovate but sometimes lobed , coming to a narrow point, making them somewhere between caudate and acuminate .
The leaves are much like the flowers when analyzing diversity. The leaves can be singly attached to the stem or alternating, they may be lobed or unlobed, and can be evergreen or deciduous depending on the species in question. [citation needed] The red mulberry can host numerous leaf types on the same tree. Leaves can be both lobed and unlobed ...

Hedycarya angustifolia is a shrub or small tree that typically grows to a height of 2–10 m (6 ft 7 in – 32 ft 10 in). Its leaves are elliptic or egg-shaped to lance-shaped, 40–160 mm (1.6–6.3 in) long and 15–60 mm (0.59–2.36 in) wide on a petiole 15–40 mm (0.59–1.57 in) long. The leaves are coarsely toothed and the midvein is ...
