Plant description

If you love mulberries, then you are going to love this self-fertile 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.

How to care for mulberry Giant Fruit:

When planting your mulberry, prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, incorporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole. Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up. Plant in full sun out of cold, drying winds. Little pruning is needed apart from removing low, dead, diseased or crossing branches. This must be tackled after leaf-fall, but before midwinter, to prevent the stems 'bleeding'.

Please note:

This tree is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
