Plant details
Morus nigra is grown for its delicious, slightly acidic raspberry-like fruit, mulberries. It is a deciduous tree with heart-shaped leaves and inconspicuous flowers in late spring. The fruit, green at first, turns red then a deep, dark purple in late summer when it is ready to be picked. Plant in well-drained soil in full sun and shelter from cold, drying winds. Prune trees in late autumn or early winter as the trees 'bleed' at other times of the year. Morus nigra has been given an Award of Garden Merit (AGM), which is for plants of outstanding excellence.
