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 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.

In the Delta, the mulberry tree, as previously discussed, is highly reproduced. The ancient ones, however (between 150 and 200 years old), are not transplanted which is why they are so gigantic and have many more leaves, or they are uncut–lobed. Every once in a while, a few of these ancient trees are cut so that their wood can be used to make boats for the Nile. In regard to the young plants that are about 25 years old, some even only 10, the planting of any useful species of trees has stopped from this period on, and in fact, it is bad luck to say so, many of those prosperous tree plantings are destroyed. Even a large number of young moroni are destroyed because the silk worm is not cultivated, although, when it has protection and proper attention, it produces excellent ''''coconi'''' whose silk is thin, limp, and tough.
