Morus spp., commonly known as mulberry, is a fast-growing deciduous fruit tree prized for its sweet, blackberry-like fruit and abundant harvests. Fun fact: mulberries aren't true berries—they're actually multiple fruits, formed from many tiny flowers that fuse together into a single fruit. Their fruit is enjoyed fresh, dried, or in jams and desserts, while the tree also provides excellent shade.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water deeply during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Prune during the dormant season to remove dead or crossing branches and maintain shape; avoid heavy pruning during active growth
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring if needed; established trees typically require little supplemental feeding
