Morus alba × M. rubra

30x20' White County, IL, 1947. Sweet black fruit begins ripening in mid-July and continues for several weeks into late summer or longer. Aaron Parker of Edgewood Nursery in Falmouth, ME, had fruit on his tree into October! Self-fruitful. Z4/5.

(12" cuttings)

These are hardwood cuttings for rooting.  Chances of rooting are greatly increased with the use of a rooting hormone (such as Dip 'N' Grow) and bottom heat from a seed starting heat mat. We strongly advise using rooting hormone.

Additional Information

Mulberries Morus spp.

Sweet flavorful purple-black 1" blackberry-like fruit is delicious fresh, in sauces, pies, fruit leather or smoothies. What fruit you don’t pick, the birds will. Great tree for viewing a huge variety of birds up close. Plant it next to the chicken pen where it will rain chicken feed into the yard for several weeks, or put down a sheet to collect the fruit as it falls.

Dense round-topped tree is one of the last to leaf out in the spring and one of the first to set fruit. Ripens in mid-July and continues for several weeks into late summer. Fast growing, even in poor soils. Prefers moist well-drained soils but otherwise adaptable. Full sun to partial shade; withstands pollution, drought, wind and salt.
