Landscape Uses and Maintenance – Mulberry Tree
The Mulberry Tree is a native deciduous tree that has leaves with serrated edges and fruits that range from dark red to white depending on the variety.
Flowers on this tree will bloom in the spring. They are small and green – not ornamental. However, the flowers and leaves have a subtle spicy, earthy scent that you will enjoy in absence of ornamental flowers.
This is a fruit tree that will require at least a moderate amount of maintenance to stay thriving in your yard.
Plant this tree in your yard or add it to your orchard.
Water thoroughly when planting to ensure that this tree is well established in its new home. They need plenty of water when first planted but avoid overwatering. Make sure to keep an eye on watering this tree, as a lack of water will make the immature fruits fall off prematurely. This fruit tree is tolerant of droughts but should be watered in extreme cases.
Prune in winter when this tree is not actively growing. Take care to remove any diseased, damaged, or rubbing branches.
The flowers attract bees. The fruits will attract plenty of wildlife to your garden, including birds, squirrels, and other mammals.
Noteworthy Characteristics
The Mulberry Tree has fruits that are edible and similar in shape to that of blackberries or raspberries but are not sold in stores due to poor shelf life. Quickly pick the fruits of your labor and eat them! You can eat them raw or cooked.
This is a tree that is self- and wind- pollinated in addition to attracting to bees, so if your property has a low population of these insects, you will still be able to have fruits.

Care
Mulberry trees thrive in well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering, especially during dry periods. They should be trimmed in winter to preserve shape and remove dead branches. In spring, they should be fertilized annually with a balanced fertilizer. Mulch near the bottom to retain moisture and control weeds.

Plant Reproduction
Mulberry trees spread through seeds, root suckers, and bird droppings.
Plant fruit trees in early spring or late fall when the weather is cool. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the roots and double as deep as the root system. When the tree is put in the hole, make sure the graft union (a noticeable bump where the tree was grafted above the rootstock) is above the soil line. Put dug-out soil around the tree roots, gently firmly remove air pockets, and water thoroughly.
Water young trees regularly, especially during dry spells, to establish a robust root system. Once established, water deeply and less frequently. Prune fruit trees yearly during the dormant season to remove dead or diseased wood, improve air circulation, and shape the tree for optimal fruit production. Fertilize in early spring and thin the fruit when necessary to prevent overbearing, which can stress the tree and reduce fruit quality.
