Steve says... John best to plant bare rooted in winter, ie very soon. However potted plants from later in spring say October can also be OK. Prepare a nice big hole with good soil or compost in it. Get them off to a good start. All should grow well for you and are comparatively low maintenance. Birds are the main problem with mulberies and figs. There are many mulberry types - probably the black mulberry is the best for cooler areas although red mulberry (eg Hick's fancy) are also OK. They can all grow pretty big so leave some space between them. I would leave 3m at least. | About the Author Steve5 Armidale 10th August 2007 11:35pm #UserID: 148 Posts: 7 View All Steve5's Edible Fruit Trees |
