Paper mulberry
Broussonetia papyrifera
Paper mulberry is a fast-growing deciduous tree or large shrub best suited to large outdoor spaces, where it provides dense shade and wildlife value. It is highly adaptable to varied soils and climates but can spread aggressively via root suckers, so regular pruning and monitoring are recommended. In some regions it is considered invasive, so check local guidelines before planting.
