Plant description
A wonderfully compact mulberry perfect for a pot on the patio. A former RHS Chelsea Flower Show Plant of the Year, ‘Mojo Berry‘ fruits on both new and old wood, meaning that it's possible to be harvesting these tasty treats over several months (often from May to September). Another noteworthy feature is that this remarkable fruit tree will usually start to produce at a very young age - even within their first year, and without the need for a pollination partner.

How to care for mulberry dwarf Mojo Berry ('Matsunaga') (PBR):
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 plant is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
