My Edible Fruit Trees: Dwarf Mulberry Trees VIC

Dwarf Mulberry - Black ^10/10

Comments: -

10/10 for rapid growth and surviving my nice and nephews... Planted this in September 2020 as a tiny Bunnings plant and by the start of Winter 2021, its about 7 foot tall! looking forward to it fruiting.

10.08.2022: This tree fruited 3 times in its first season. The 1st fruit was dissapointing as so tiny and I was contemplating taking it out. Im glad I waited as it fruited 2 more times and the berries were large and luscious. Now sitting pretty at around 12 feet. Beautiful uniform shape and its autumn leaves provide great garden mulch - VERY worthwhile tree for small gardens.

Dwarf Mulberry - Red Shahtoot ^10/10

Comments: - Would love to try this fruit, fruited in spring but all dropped due to young age. It's growing very nicley and will great shade tree for summer.  * first fruit almost two years later dissapointing hopefully in another year itll be sweeter. Tastes like a not so sweet watermelon for some reason.

UPDATE

Flowers every time I prune, without fail. I have mine in a big pot and it gets quite a bit of water and coffee grounds and seems to enjoy.  Is now about 1.8m with multiple branching points. Purchased in May 2018, was under the height of the bamboo stake in the pot at the time.  Now (August 2019) has 4 berries growing at each leaf point - over 150 mulberries on the tree which I hope all go to maturity and I can get before the birds.

INITIAL

Thought I'd grow a dwarf mulberry to see what the results would be. Has put on quite a bit of growth - had flowers appear very quickly but all fell off over Winter - two made it through. Mulberries were quite nice - looking forward to seeing how productive it can be over the years.

Love the large green leaves and looking forward to sampling the fruit of course!    Also, being decidous I hve planted next to our deck to provide shade in summer but let in the winter sun. Hope it grows a lot more this spring onwards.

Jan 2014- In a pot, does not grow due to bad graft. Does provide a few lovely sweet mulberries each season.

Dec 2010: Plant is already bearing about 1/2 dozen fruits, hope they don't drop off prematurely like a few of my persimmon trees.

Oct 2010: A branch was broken when I opened the parcel but all is fine. The tree is now planted into 25cm pot, will plant in the ground autumn/spring next year. Can't wait to taste the fruit.
