Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry Tree 

Haha, thank you so much. You will love it! They are delicious and give you a soothing voice. ;)

Glad it helped. These things grow like crazy. Place them wisely. :)

These mulberries do love to be cut though. When done fruiting, you can cut it back to 4 feet tall and it will branch out again and give you fruit again. You can do this 3 times a year at least in this 9b climate, twice in my climate. In my winter I cut mine to a 5 foot tree until it wakes up in the spring.

@@7wernli I live in Charlotte NC zone 8a so what months do you trim back? Around early May? July and Sept?

​@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 What soil to use for planting Mulberry ❓❓

Yes, these are good looking plants for sure!

I'm in Socal looking for one also, what and where is Armstrong?

@@VoltronPrime I found it at the Armstrong nursery on Harbor Blvd in Fullerton near Imperial Highway

@@iDreamOfOkrahow is your tree doing? what does the fruit taste like sour & sweet? or just plain sweet

I am out here in Torrance, going to plant one soon😎

Mission accomplished. :) Now my mouth is watering thinking about the tart ones.

That's a good idea. I wish I had. I will do one next year for sure.

Thanks! It's starting to wake up and form mulberries.

Haha. It could happen. :)

No mine was closer to 2 feet tall and had a few tiny branches. One was near the bottom which is why I have the dual trunk. But it was just starting to wake up since I planted it in the spring. A few of my other trees looked like that though.

Nice! Sounds like you got a lot going on.

@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 My mulberry trees are growing well in the ground so far. Noticeable growth so they`re doing well. I chopped holes in the hard soil with a small pick axe and added good soil to give them a boost and added some lime pellets and liquid fertilizer. I`m gonna plant more from rooted cuttings. I killed one removing the other four from their tiny box because of the weird way they were packaged because it looked like they only sent two instead of four because they had two root balls on each end. It snapped in a way that couldn`t be saved. I tried but they were already in bad shape because shipping was so delayed. They were freshly rooted young green cuttings unlike the first that was an older twig. The one twig was the same price (25) as four fresh green ones and is growing the slowest. I don`t care though because I just wanted a decent start of them to propagate more nearby and give away to help the birds and hungry people in the future.

Yes there are lots of types. I got mine from Tropica Mango which was from Dave Wilson nursery. It is a Morus Nigra. Have you gotten fruit? Is it white? Maybe you have a Murus Alba. Look up those leaves. Otherwise might be hard to tell what you have.

@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 I did get some fruit this Spring. The fruit went quickly from green to red and then slowly to Black. They were tiny... but first year fruit.

Hmm, not sure. Maybe someone else will know. Hopefully the fruit taste good. Mine were about the size of a big raisin year one. Then the next year they doubled in size.

@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 I hope that happens with mine! They have been super easy to clone. I bought them for the birds (chickens and wild/both). If they are no good they will still hopefully do their job. I do have an Illinois Everbearing and a Shangri La as well. So at least those will be decent. Thanks!!!

Not necessarily. I would check with your local nursery and see what varieties do the best in your area and get a feel for how big the tree will get. Then base your decision on how big of a tree (and berry) you want. I picked this one based on the fact that they don't get as huge as some of the other mulberry trees. If I didn't have size restrictions I would probably have picked the Pakistan variety probably for a bigger berry.

Yes. It stops producing. It will most likely put on a few mulberries toward the end of summer but nothing like the april/may harvest.

Yes you can but they put on a good 8 feet of growth in all directions every year so it will be a challenge. So you would prune it way back in the winter then prune it a couple more times after it fruits in April as needed. You would be challenged but it could be done. They grow super fast.

This is my method. Cut it back immediately after it’s done fruiting. Then it will grow a ton again amd fruit. And I keeep repeating this process. There will be periods of the year your tree is big, but you can keep chopping it back to 5 feet. All the cuttings you take can be turned into clones of the original tree too which is amazing.

@@7wernli ok that sounds good mine was just an 18" tree from etsy last year...... this year i cut it back to create a bush style........ im hoping for some nice growth this year and plan on keeping it at 6 foot....... im guessing 2 or 3 more years till fruit

We will get down into the high 20s on occasion. These trees wont have any trouble in 9a. Enjoy!!!

Hi thanks for the fast reply - you made up my mind-- think i will order some cuttings. @@dirtygnomesgardens1667

Mulberry can grow from zone 5 to 10.

@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 Thanks for the reply DGG.. :)

@@baneverything5580 Thanks for t he reply ..:)

This is kind of a personal preference thing. If it has multiple trunks eventually each one of those trunks will be huge and it might be a little more difficult to maintain in future years. Mine has 2 trunks. My personal preference would be 1 or 2. So it just depends on what you are looking for.

Yes, this type produces from spring until fall they say.

I'm not sure. I think the Illinois grows larger but not positive what the differences are.

I got this from Tropica Mango.

baker creek has a dwarf variety for sale too

I found one on eBay

Yes, I eat the whole mulberry. The green fibers are part of the fruit. Im not familiar with webs or silk. I dont normally see that in my tree. Generally speaking, I don't wash the mulberries when I am just grazing in the yard. When I bring in a big harvest I always rinse them. Here in AZ when we get into late April and May, as it heats up I will start seeing bugs in them that look like tiny ants. I usually just blow them off and eat the fruit without washing. Hope this helps.

I use organic citrus fertilizer usually 3 times a year.

Hello. In my climate where it gets 110°+ F it only fruits one main crop from April to mid May. Towards the end of summer it will usually set a few fruit but there aren't many and a lot of them don't fully ripen.

@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 Thanks for replie.

This is from Dave Wilson.

It gets around 12-15 ft tall and about the same width.

6 feet? Yeah right. It grows more than that in a few months. :)

Not here in Florida

They can get 20 feet tall and 15 feet wide. I prune mine back to about 6x6 in the winter and it will easily be 12x12 by the end of summer.

I got it from Tropica Mango in Apache Junction.

That's strange because everything that I have read about mulberry tress is that they fruit in the first year!

Is it grafted? If it's not grafted, it will take 4-5 years to produce fruit. Grafted trees can produce fruit in the first year.

@@kuldeeplonkar No, it's not. Thank you! I will give it another year or so. It's a pretty tree.

Ants and leaf footed bugs primarily.

How old is it? Is it in the ground? Mine produced small berries the first year but they have gotten a little bigger as the tree matured. Hopefully the same will happen for you because pea size isn't gonna cut it. 😀 Also the bigger plumper berries come later in the season.

@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 Well it is kinda 3 years old, in a way. I bought it and planted it 3 years ago and then it had tiny berries. Then last year it got all the roots eaten by a gopher. So I picked up the branches which I cut the twigs into pieces and poked them into the ground and most took root and survived. Those are now 7' tall and the tiny berries are forming again. So it really never has had a chance to mature.

Ok, fingers crossed. Hopefully they get bigger for you!

@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 Gophers are an ever present threat out here. The farther away from my place that I can kill 'em the better! It just seems like some neighbors intentionally breed 'em!

Yeah, not a typical dwarf thats for sure. 😁

Sorry, I've never tried the leaves. Only the fruit.

It will fruit again if you prune it back hard after it’s first crop in spring. There are even RU-vid videos in which they remove the tree’s leaves after each fruiting, and get it to fruit again about 45 days later.

No, just this one here.
