Broussonetia papyrifera, a
deciduous tree, has long been cultivating materials for traditional
Japanese paper and grows wild in fields and mountains, with
gray-brown barks and yellow-brown lenticels. Current branches have
dense velvety hairs on them. Leaves are opposite; blades measure
10-20cm long, 7-14cm wide, ovate, right-side and left-side
irregular, varying from no cuts to 3-5 deep cuts, with obtuse
serrations on margins. Surfaces have sparse short hairs, and
backsides have dense velvety hairs. Flowers are dioecious; male
inflorescence and female ones occur from the new branch's axils.
Fruit (multiple) is spherical, 2-3cm in diameter, and matures
orange-red in July-August. Bloom time: May-June. |
