The best way to eat Mulberries is Naked ... to save staining your clothes!!! 😉
Mulberries are one of the best fruiting plants on the planet!
If you don’t like mulberries, you are crazy!!
It’s also one of the fastest growing fruit trees, producing an abundance of excellent fruit every year and is virtually pest and disease free.
It is one-half responsible for the finest fibres known to man, silk and can be grown nearly everywhere that has soil.
Mulberries can be feature trees they have beautiful large dark green foliage that turns yellow in autumn, making the tree an attractive specimen for large gardens. In areas that get cold it can be completely deciduous.
Mulberries can be trimmed to keep them manageable or left to grow wildly huge in your yard. There is nothing better in life than sitting under a mulberry tree, stuffing your face with juicy red mulberries. If you do decide to trim, leave your trimming to late autumn as the fruit will be on the new growth come spring.
Mulberries will handle most situations you throw at them but I have found that the fruit tastes better when they are taken care of. Every season it’s a good idea to add manure based compost and organic mulch (sugar cane) around the base. A regular water during the fruit forming stage helps keeps the fruit juicy.
If you have a lot of wildlife around your house we suggest you net your tree.
