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.

Plant arrived in Feb 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates.

May 2020 - In late April / early May had a small flush of new growth with the beginnings of four mulberries (now tasted - delicious and sweet). 

September 2021 - Now in 45L planter bag, growing well. Growing vigourously after winter, with many new berries forming.

Very Happy with this tree. Started fruiting 2019, planted in 2018. Loads of fruits. Branches growing all over have to prune to keep it in check.

Usually fruits in August/September. but I saw some fruits in Jan this year.

Dwarf Mulberry - Black (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

Fruit are firm and quite tart in taste until completely ripe. These are NOT the sweeter more tasty variety you may have had previously. However, this variety is a prolific bearer. In Brisbane I get multiple crops each year with the main being in August and September. My 3m dwarf tree is fast growing and enjoys a good prune after fruiting. This means it is easy to keep small which also makes picking much easier. I fertilize with chicken and urea pellets and water well during fruiting which encourages juicer plumper berries. To manage bird and bat damage pick berries before too loose and dead ripe and don't leave berries on the ground for bats to sniff out. Best picked as they start to turn black and while still a little firm on tree and red in places. Continue to ripen inside. Many will be ready same day with remainder next day. Enjoy!

Mulberry - White Shahtoot (Seedling)

Comments: - Beautiful long pale green fruit, very vigorous grower and now over 2 metres tall.  We have sandy soil, old cropping country and the soil is pretty gutless.  The mulberries are holding their own at present.  We do not live at the location and they really only get attention such as mulching and fertilizer twice a year.  Lucky had summer rain over 2017 (this has helped).  Planted March 2015
