Morus Londinium

Morus Londinium was set up by the Conservation Foundation with Peter Coles in 2016 with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Its aim is to document, preserve and raise awareness of London's mulberry tree heritage. An online interactive database maps over 1000  mulberry trees in Greater London - and beyond - most of them added by visitors to the website and then edited and followed up by Peter and other contributors to Morus Londinium.

 As we search for long-term funding, the website, with its blogs, maps and a host of valuable information, continues to be hosted by the Conservation Foundation with support of donations. 

Please contact us if you'd like to sponsor a talk, walk or help support the project, the website and its research.

Morus Londinium won a 2021 European Heritage / Europa Nostra Award for its innovtive work.

Dr Peter Coles is the author of Mulberry, a global cultural history published by Reaktion Books ( October 2019).
