If you love mulberries, then you are going to love this new form, which produces fruit that are around 2-3 times the size of a normal mulberry. Slowly growing to form a large, rounded tree, mulberries are best grown as specimens in bigger gardens where there is ample room for their spreading branches. The delicious and juicy fruits ripen in late summer and can be eaten straight off the branches, or used to make jams or jellies.
Garden care: Prepare the ground well before planting. Plant in full sun out of cold, drying winds. Stake for the first few years and prune in winter, as the trees ‘bleed’ at other times of the year. Little pruning is needed however, only to remove low, dead, diseased or crossing branches.
