False information about introduction of mulberry trees (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

limes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'trees' is the definition.
(lime is a kind of tree)

'false information about introduction of mulberry' is the wordplay.
'false information' becomes 'lies' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'introduction of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'mulberry' is 'm'.
'lies' going around 'm' is 'LIMES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for limes that I've seen before include "boundary" , "Citrus fruits" , "Citrus fruit" , "Green fruits" , "Pieces of fruit" .)
