Toward the back side of the new shed area, I planted my new Littleleaf Mulberry or Texas Mulberry, Morus microphylla. I assume it needs to be protected against deer, so I caged it. Even though I've always referred to this kind of plant as Littleleaf Mulberry, I'm considering calling this one Texas Mulberry, because the leaves look bigger than what I've seen in the wild. Whether the nursery just selected plants with bigger leaves or it's bigger because it's a small plant, I'm not sure.
