Morus hybrid

4-10' × 4-8'. Morus hybrid. From a grower named Jan down in Florida, yet surprisingly cold hardy. 

A naturally dwarfing everbearing variety with a good balance of sweet and tart. Most mulberry trees can grow quite large, so this could be a good option for smaller spaces. These are rooted cuttings, not grafted trees. Self-fruitful. Zone 5.

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. Fast growing, even in poor soils. We offer grafted female varieties, which are self-fruitful.

Growing Mulberries

  • Soil: Adaptable, but prefers moist well-drained soil. Rugged! Withstands pollution, drought, wind and salt.
  • Sun: Full sun to part shade.
  • Pollination: Mulberries are dioecious, but female trees do not need a male to set fruit. You just need one!
  • Spacing: 20–30' apart
  • Planting: Consider a site with northern exposure to delay flowering. See our planning and planting and pests and diseases pages for instructions on soil prep, planting and pest control.
