The mulberry plant family, Moraceae, also includes figs, jackfruit, and breadfruit. Mulberry trees produce small, sweet fruits that resemble slender blackberries. Mulberry fruits are quite popular with wildlife. Visiting creatures will reduce the harvest for your personal use, but on a good sized tree there should be enough fruits for all to enjoy.
Sun-Loving This plant enjoys full sun exposure, so be sure to place it in a spot where it can soak up plenty of sunlight throughout the day.
Pruning Benefits Regular pruning not only helps control the size and shape of the tree but also encourages the growth of new shoots and improves fruit production.
Watering Needs While the Mulberry Tree is drought-tolerant once established, it's essential to ensure consistent moisture, especially during the growing season, to support healthy growth and fruit development.
Harvesting Tips Enjoy delicious, ripe mulberries by harvesting them when they're fully colored and slightly soft to the touch. Be gentle when picking to avoid damaging the delicate fruits and branches.
