dwarf mulberry (Grafted) 10/10

DonnaB's Edible Fruits
Update: 6079 days 1hrs

Comments: -

This tree has just flourished and the fruit is yummo! Have had no problems with it despite it being in a north/west facing aspect and dealing with wind. Hoping to have a windbreak by way of passionfruit all along the back fence but the Mluberry doesn't seem to care anywhere. She is lush, tall and I love her :) It is only 2 metres from the septic tank and I thought it being a dwarf it would be ok - but perhaps not. May have to move her...

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

Mulberry - Black Shahtoot? (Cutting)

BJ11_old_address's Edible Fruits
Update: 5125 days 19hrs

Comments: -

A cutting from a tree growing wild on an undeveloped block I hope to nurture this plant and put it in the naturestrip. The fruit are delicious (although nothing beats the Black English) and the parent plant has survived years of neglect and no water in unimproved soil (at least 10 metres above the water table) so the cutting should be tough! I'm planning on espilaring it against the fence (in a pot) and keeping a close eye on the berries to prevent paver stains.

Maybe my husband won't notice!

From a 10cm cutting in November 2010 it is now 1m high in October 2011 and covered in fruit. Clearly a tough weed (that will never be released from a pot!) By Jan 2012 it has its second crop of fruit (I've not seen such a thing before) and is 1.5m high. This plant is a weed!! I intend to plant it out on the verge come autumn as it cannot stay in the pot (it will stain pavers and grows too quickly).

May 2012 - the plant has put on MORE berries ... and been relocated to the verge. It was pruned heavily to assist with shape and root growth (as vandals killed the mango previously on the verge - although there are thorny roses planted around the mulberry to discourage this!). The prunings have been turned into about 20 cuttings. Plant is recovering well and hopefully will soon realised that cropping from spring to winter is a bit keen!!

Update: 5611 days 6hrs

Wow what a fast growing tree. Delicious fruit! And it fruits early in life. I have fond memories of climbing mulbery trees from my childhood and wanted my kids to do the same. To ensure you get good strong low branches cut the top 2cm off your tree when it is 1.2 metres high. It will branch within a growing season.I tried a few sharshoot white ones and thought they tasted boring by comparison plus the purple fingers are half the fun!

the Common type in the area. loved by Birds, and in some seasons fruit fly. Makes excellent Jam and Wine, or distilled spirit. The host plant for silkworms, Goats love the leaves as fodder and is a very productive tree in a lowlying spot.

Mulberry- Black (Cutting)

VF1's Edible Fruits
Update: 4980 days 0hrs

Comments: -

I love, and now the children do too, the sweet and juicy fruit which is best eaten straight off the tree.  I'm not sure of variety I have, but fruit are about 30-35mm long, black and fat. Main fruiting is in spring, but can have some small, extra flushes of fruit in Summer and Autumn.  Can be messy due to staining fruit, and dropping  large leaves late Autumn (is deciduous).  Is a very fast grower and can be quite big - best to get a dwarf variety in an urban environment.  If in rural environment, go big! (Watch-out though, as livestock love the leaves and will "prune" quite heavily). 

Spring '12: Bumper crop this year with branches laden with fruit. Picking a strawberry punnet worth each day as well as stuffing ourselves at the same time. Such an easy and rewarding fruit to grow!

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.
