Native to East Asia, it has been widely introduced and is now naturalised in parts of India, where it spreads readily on disturbed ground and tolerates a wide range of soils. Its quick growth and large lobed leaves make it useful for fibre, fodder, fuelwood and quick shade, though its vigour means it should be sited and managed carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moraceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative region:\u003c\/strong\u003e East Asia (naturalised in parts of India)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–20 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seeds are tiny and benefit from a short soak in water before sowing to soften the coat and improve uptake. Surface-sow or barely cover them (about 0.5 cm) on a moist, well-drained seed mix kept warm and bright, as light aids germination. Seedlings appear over roughly two to four weeks; once large enough to handle, prick them out into bags and grow on before planting into a chosen, contained site.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51052639486198,"sku":"SED-TRE-PAPER-001","price":4499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-seeds-paper-mulberry-broussonetia-papyrifera-seeds-1.jpg?v=1782714674","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/paper-mulberry-broussonetia-papyrifera-0-5-kg-seeds","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
