Wikipedia Abstract

Morus mesozygia, known as black mulberry or African mulberry, is a small to medium sized forest tree of Tropical Africa. Its leaves and fruit provide food for the mantled guereza, a colobus monkey native to much of Tropical Africa, and for the common chimpanzee of West and Central Africa. It is also a commercial hardwood. The trees can be found in Ngogo in Kibale National Park in Uganda where they are food source for chimpanzees.
