Even the 'dwarf' has a tendency to shoot for the sky. After fruiting it is essential to cut right back. The tree always responds during spring and early summer with another load of fruit!

What a wonderful little tree.  Fruited from the first season and hasn't looked back - just keeps on giving.

Have just been given some chooks so I'm sure the mulberry tree are going to enjoy sharing its spot with them.

Cut it back a little late but even so covered in fruit.  It is in the chook pen now so should get lots of nitrogen from now on.

Just started shooting and fruiting and I am excited in anticipation of tasting this amazing looooong mulberry.  Everyone who see the size of the fruit is impressed.  I hope the taste matches the size and length of this fascinating fruit tree.

dwarf mulberry (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

This tree has just flourished and the fruit is yummo! Have had no problems with it despite it being in a north/west facing aspect and dealing with wind. Hoping to have a windbreak by way of passionfruit all along the back fence but the Mluberry doesn't seem to care anywhere. She is lush, tall and I love her :) It is only 2 metres from the septic tank and I thought it being a dwarf it would be ok - but perhaps not. May have to move her...
