== The Mulberry Tree == | |||
The Nile Valley and the Oases of the Libyan have long had ''''il Morus Alba'''' and the ''''il Morus Niora''''. The latter produces a variety of large black ROSSIGNI fruit that have a pleasant sweet acidity which renders it ideal for making syrup, jelly, and preserves identical to those made from the ''''rebus Idea'''' (blackberry). The leaves of this variety of Morone are very large, not very lobed, rough to the touch, leather-like in texture, and dark green in color; they are not suitable for the nutrition of the silk worm. | The Nile Valley and the Oases of the Libyan have long had ''''il Morus Alba'''' and the ''''il Morus Niora''''.

The crude, not transplanted mulberry produces large trees that are very widespread in lower Egypt, not as common in the middle of the region, and rare in the upper areas. They also revive themselves on the islands in the Libyan desert (Oasis) likely because they were introduced there during the Ancient Greco–Roman civilization, and they preserve themselves despite being neglected until the present day. They achieve the form of a wild tree with small, lobed, split leaves that are almost laciniated. | The crude, not transplanted mulberry produces large trees that are very widespread in lower Egypt, not as common in the middle of the region, and rare in the upper areas.
