Product Name: Chicken Foot Leaf Mulberry (Ji Zhao Sang)

Description:
Chicken Foot Leaf Mulberry is a rare and ornamental variety of mulberry, named for its distinctive claw-shaped leaves that are deeply lobed like a chicken's foot. It belongs to the mulberry species Morus australis and is prized by gardeners and fruit enthusiasts alike.

Appearance:
This variety features 3-5 deeply lobed leaves with a long central lobe, creating a unique visual effect that makes it a standout in any garden. The plant grows as a shrub or small tree, reaching 2–6 meters in height.

Fruit:
While the foliage is the main attraction, Chicken Foot Mulberry also produces long, slender fruits (4–6 cm) that ripen to a red or purple-red color. The fruit is known for its exceptional sweetness, with sugar content reaching 26%.

Key Commercial Advantages:

• Ornamental & Edible Dual Value – Unique leaf shape for landscaping, plus sweet edible fruit.
