Mulberries are deciduous trees and as such they drop their leaves for the winter. Before the leaves are dropped the tree will start to look a little scrappy and the leaves turn brown at the edges and fall off.

David are you in a frost prone area. All of my mulberry leaves turn black after a heavy frost and I get black edging on the younger leaves from milder frosts.

Mine did the same last summer. It is growing in a pot so perhaps got a little dry. After it lost its leaves, it has since grown lovely green new ones and looks healhty again.

I get this on my black mulberry but normally toward the end of the fruiting season. I put it down to cold as that's when I notice it the most, after a very cold night. I live near the coast so I don't get frost here but nights of 8 degrees and colder seem to cause blackening of the leaves.

I forgot to mention that all the leaves on my white shahtoot looked like yours at the end of last summer but this year it has a beautiful amount of new growth and gresh, healthy green leaves.

My leaves have started doing the same thing, my plant is only 1 mtr high and planted 2-3 months ago. It is a white weeping shahtoot variety. The leaves are deffinately turning black around the edges, do we think this is normal hebaviour or a problem?

This is a normal phenomina that is occuring all over the place. Is call autumn and presumes a change of season. The trees should have been fed by now so as they can go into a domant state and store the energy up for next growing period, unless you have an unsual event and the trees keep on going. My apricot has not stoped since i poisoned the couch grass and left it there as a mulch cover. Its grown not stop now for two years. But only produced four fruit last season.

Yep, my Shahtoots are going brown at the edges again but otherwise completely healthy. Just a shame they both aborted all their fruit last season...I think it was due to the hot weather perhaps?

I've never tasted the white Shatoots but have a great black mulberry-how do they compare taste wise?

I've only tried a couple of Shahtoots. They are very sweet (even when not fully ripe) but don't have that wonderful tangy taste of a good black mulberry

Leona, I now have a dwarf red shahtoot and it has aborted all its fruit in October for the last 2 years. It can't be the heat here in Armidale so I guess it is immaturity. I don't think it is water stress. Hopefully it will get over it. It has actually produced a lone autumn berry which it is hanging on to currently.
