Growing & Maintaining Mulberry Trees in Your Landscape
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. It's an easy native that grows and thrives almost anywhere you plant it. This tree is a magnet for the flowers, which attract bees. The fruits will attract plenty of wildlife to your garden, including birds, squirrels, and other mammals.
Features & Wildlife Benefits
The Mulberry Tree has edible fruits similar in shape to 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 bees, so if your property has a low population of these insects, you will still be able to have fruits.
Exposure
Mulberry trees thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. They can tolerate some partial shade, but total sun exposure is best for optimal fruit production and growth.
