Nativeness Notes
native of e. Asia.; Data Source: http://plants.usda.gov, 10 August 2007
Legacy NPSpecies information may no longer be applicable, please remove if it is not applicable.
In legacy NPSpecies Weedy value was Yes with comment: disturbed areas, vacant lots, roadsides, moist forests (Weakley 2007)
In legacy NPSpecies Pest value was Yes with comment: Natureserve I-Rank: High/Medium: Impacts of this species largely occur at the native species level except where stands are dense and prevent native forest regeneration. This species spreads/carries disease that kills native red mulberry, itself considered an endangered species in Canada. White mulberry also hybridizes readily with native red mulberry and, with time, could eleminate native genetic strains and come to replace native red mulberry in the United States. It is easily spread by birds and mammals and has moderate capability of invading undisturbed areas. Control is not difficult although success over time has not been evaluated.
