Fruit
Pakistan Mulberry
A tier
Pakistan mulberry (often Morus macroura / “Shahtoot”) produces very long, cylindrical pale-to-pinkish sweet fruit—honeyed, mild, and dramatic on the tree. Less acid than black mulberry; texture is tender. Specialty tropical-subtropical growers prize the novelty length. Harvest gently; long fruits kink and crush. Eat fresh, dry, or blend into mild smoothies. Needs suitable chill/heat balance by selection. Market as shahtoot for diaspora recognition.
