Dwarf Mulberry - Black ^10/10

Comments: -

About to plant in ground.  Has taken off since planting in ground.  5 new branches and a fair bit of fruit.

The new branches are lower than the original branches and seem to be a lot longer as well.  I don't think this tree is grafted - hope not or I these branches will take over the tree.

Just tip pruned above branches which they they shot laterally.  Been 6 months since then and the tree is already covered in masses of leaves and fruit that just starting to change colour.  Very satisfying plant to grow.  Has grown 0.7m since tip pruning.

Has grown to about 4m x 3m and fruited twice this season.  My kids love picking the fruit off and eating it (4yrs and 2yrs) - May 2011

Allegedly dwarf, now pollarded so we can get a net over it to keep birds from spreading the unfortunately very viable seed. Fruits prolifically, but if we like the taste of the shahtoot this one will come out.

Dwarf Mulberry - Black (Seedling)

Comments: -

This plant I bought on a whim as I passed it at a nursery. I didn't  realise there were dwarf fruit trees until then. It has begun my love of fruit trees.

The plant is rather bare at the moment and a couple of leaves are yellow. It is growing in a pot with store bought compost and potting mix. It has been raining steadily for around a month now and although it has good drainage i think this may be part of the issue.

The actual fruit reminds me of hot summer days when a child.

I also  love mulberries fresh or baked in filo pastry with freshly whipped cream.

This tree is doing beautifully in a large pot.  It fruited twice last summer and was the tastiest mulberry I've had. I pruned it in autumn/early winter, it did lose it's leaves.  At the moment it is loaded with developing fruit and new leaves.

Dwarf Mulberry - Black (Cutting) ^8/10

Comments: -

Does nothing until spring then it takes off with very fast growth, started fruiting and has doubled in size by summer.

Tree is now over 3m tall, grows super fast! keep pruning and it keeps fruiting from spring to mid autumn. Cut it back by 2/3 during winter which has now made it more compact with very bushy growth now in spring.

Taste is milder than blackberry but still very enjoyable, a great little tree for the backyard.
