Morus (Mulberry)

Mulberries are deciduous, slow growing trees to medium-sized shrubs with a nicely rounded crown and ornamental, lobed to entire dark green to fresh green, heart-shaped leaves silvery-green beneath and numerous delicious, very sweet, raspberry-like fruits from late summer to early autumn. Excellent for a partially shaded to sunny, protected spot with a leafy, humus-rich, well drained soil and sufficient moisture in summer. Young plants require some frost protection in winter (e.g. a dry mulch layer).
Sow flat in autumn or early spring in any rich, well drained, slightly sandy soil in a sunny position. Grow in pots for two years, keep seedlings in a protected spot during winter. Transplant by the end of the second year.
All are USDA Climate Zone 6/7.
20 seeds per package.
