Hi! I live in South Africa and discovered what I’m fairly certain is a red Mulberry growing in my garden.

Question

Is that possible? I’ve read that it usually grows in North America. The leaves have all the characteristics of that of the Red Mulberry. Is it possible to move the tree? It is still small, about 1.85 metres high. And how do I go about it? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

They are native to North America but South Africa does have "alien invaders." These articles should help:
