Mulberry tree (Morus sp.) - Physical Description 1
A single malure specimen of Morus sp. (Mulberry) localed on vacant land on property owned by G. Scarlett in Camp Road in Wood vale. While typical of the gnarled and picturesque form of older Morus specimens and a species which can be expected to develop a leaning habit or possibly to split in the fulure, Ihe tree presently retains a relatively even and integrated canopy and is in good health. The tree is approximately 5.5m high. lts spread at its greatest width (as shown in photograph) is approximately 9.0m. No DBH (diameter at breast-height) measuremenl for the tree was available due to the low branches and partially multi-trunked habit of the tree. The tree is located on irregularly undulating land. A flattened area of land closer to the road and adjacent to a brick well suggests the previous location of a building such as an early house. The adjacent watercourse is understood to have been a recent landscape development. As assessment was made while the Iree was in winter dormancy, the species could not be confirmed. However, at a seasonal time when the tree is in leaf, positive identification is expected to be Morus nigra. Age estimation is >90 years. Condition: very good. Integrity: not applicable.
