Mulberry

Very vigorous white fleshed variety. Not much taste. Makes a better treecover in a chook or duckpen where the fowl enjoy them.

Mulberry-Black (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: -

Wanted a good climbing tree for when the kids are older, as well as something edible. Has absolutely taken off since being planted in late Nov 09 and is now nearly 3 metres tall (Apr 10).

Sept 2010: Had a brief dormant period over late winter, but has now woken up with a vengence and there are flowers everywhere, so hopefully we should have some fruit later this year.

The mulberry must be the best tree ever for Warners Bay. It doesn't mind drought too much, and comes back vigourously with rain. It loves Newcastle!

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

Dwarf Mulberry - Black ^10/10

Comments: -

Supplier - Daleys

Got it last Summer 08

I loves this plant, as soon as it start budding, it is setting fruits.

It had grown double in size now, I don't know if I should cut it back, as I don't want it to get to bushy or too tall.

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.

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.
