Description

This is one of our favorite mulberries. It is small, fits into most yards easily, and produces copious delicious, nutrient rich fruit twice a year, in spring and fall. The fruit continues to sprinkle in throughout the summer months as well. In 9B or warmer, this tree can have some fruit on it pretty much year around. Trim it to size, use it as a messy hedge; very versatile tree. Sun or part shade, dry or wet, it likes it all. It will respond to nutrition with more fruit but doesn't need a lot of it. Feed twice per year, manure or organic fertilizer, Jan and June. The leaves have been well respected in Chinese medicine for centuries, and also feed the famous silk worm. The leaves are also edible, but must be cooked. Please do your homework to ensure you prepare the leaves properly - and then freely enjoy!
