Description
One of the most bred and cultivated trees of all time, why this tree is relatively unknown to most Americans today is a mystery to me! Let’s change that!
This tree grows delicious fruit with ease. The amount of fruit on one tree can be staggering. The fruit ripens in early summer, and is a great treat to pick right from the tree for all ages! Any fruit you don’t collect will be eaten by birds, who will help spread the seeds far and wide. Once you learn to identify mulberries, you will start seeing them everywhere that birds land.
It grows quickly, and does well in shadier places. Even does well under black walnut! This tree is also great fodder for animals as the leaves are very high in protein.
These seedling trees come from great genetics that produce lots of nice fruit. Seedlings can be male or female however, so I recommend planting three trees if possible to increase the chance of a getting a female. A lone female will produce fruit but the seeds won’t be viable.
These will also be suitable for grafting improved varieties on later if you so desire!
