My Edible Fruit Trees: Mulberry Trees VIC

Giant Yellow Mulberry

Native Mulberry

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.

Mulberry - White Shahtoot (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: - Just received it today and counted about 20 fruit currently on it. The tree has just come out of dormancy and i can't belive i will be having fruit in a few weeks. I will be potting it up in a 510mm pot (52L) and that would be its home for a while before i transfer it to a self watering barrel (100L)  permanently in a year or 2. I will regularly update on plant growth and taste of the fruit as it will mature in a few weeks time.

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.

Mulberry - Black English

Mulberry - Black English (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

Actually this is my neighbours tree, a large portion falls on my side of the fence.  I prune and take care of my side, little I can do for the other side.  The kids love picking the berries in summer.  I don't think the berries are as plump as they should be, they feel abit dryish and not juicy but taste sweet.  It's a very large neglected tree.

Mulberry - White Shahtoot (Grafted)

Comments: -

The Red Shahtoot I bought last year produced fruits within 2 months, I was so impressed with the performance that I decided to try out the White Shahtoot as well. Both white and red varieties are said to tolerate clayey soil very well which is great because some parts of my backyard's soil is clayey, and the thought of reaping the fruits of these plants without the need to improving the surrounding soil quality is too good to be true.

I ordered this tree from Daleys during one of the hottest weeks, and yet it looks most healthy. Very impressed. I hope the fruits taste as good as what is suggested.

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.

Black mulberry is said to taste better than the white and red ones. I'll plant the other two varieties too and test it out.
