Mulberry
Morus spp.
Widely grown and very popular in the Middle East, Central Asia and many regions of the world, Mulberry is also a popular fruit in central and eastern regions of the U.S. Mulberry trees are prized for their ornamental value as well as for their fruit. Mulberry fruit resembles a blackberry and is very juicy, sweet and flavorful. Our Mulberry varieties are self-fertile, hardy to minus 25°F, well adapted to most soils, and are happy in partial to full sun.
