    Kimbu, known scientifically as Morus macroura, is a remarkable and widely respected plant in traditional Nepali medicine. Locally known by several names like किम्बु, क्युकाफल, or simply Mulberry, this plant grows across various parts of Nepal and holds a special place in both local diets and herbal healing practices.

    This article offers a detailed explanation of Kimbu, its types, physical and medicinal properties, how it is used, and the right way to harvest and preserve it.

     

    Introduction

    Kimbu (Morus species) is a small to medium-sized deciduous plant belonging to the Moraceae family. It is a fruit-bearing tree famous for its soft, sweet-and-sour berries, which turn deep red or black when ripe. The plant is especially important in the silk industry, as silkworms feed on its leaves. Apart from that, it is a powerhouse of nutrition and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries.

     

    Availability in Nepal and Other Countries

    In Nepal, Kimbu grows naturally across hilly regions and is often seen in villages and forests up to 1500 meters altitude. It grows 3 to 5 meters tall in the wild, though cultivated varieties can grow much larger. Many Nepali households, especially those involved in sericulture (silk farming), plant it widely.

    Internationally, the Morus genus is native to parts of Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Different varieties of mulberry trees can be found in India, China, Japan, Korea, and even parts of North and South America, where they are used for both medicinal and agricultural purposes.

     

    Physical Properties

    • Height: 3 to 10 meters depending on the species and environment.
    • Leaves: Broad, green, sometimes lobed or unlobed depending on the variety.
    • Fruit: Clustered, juicy, and red-black when fully ripe.
    • Bark: Rough-textured, grayish-brown, used medicinally.
    • Flowers: Small, inconspicuous, appearing before fruits.

    The plant grows quickly and adapts well to temperate and sub-tropical climates. It can tolerate dry conditions but thrives best in well-drained soil and mild weather.
