Planting your own Mulberry tree gives you a really unique opportunity to grow delicious fruits that are sparsely available in shops. The fruits can be utilised in a variety of ways; they can be enjoyed fresh, cooked in tarts, or blended into cordials. As well as providing you with tasty fruits, these interesting trees also have high ornamental appeal; their branches become slightly crooked and gnarled over time which adds to the charm of these outstanding trees. Although mulberries are not natives, they are far from new to the British; we have been planting them for hundreds of years. Mulberry trees have had a royal association since King James I commissioned a mulberry garden in the grounds of Buckingham Palace in 1608.

Mulberry Tree
Common Name: Mulberry TreeLatin Name: Morus nigraSoil: Moist soilsPosition: Open sunFruit picking time: Late summerFruit size/colour: Medium sized wine coloured fruitsThe 'Morus nigra' is a beautiful fruit tree which features a wonderfully rounded crown and an intricate nest of low-spreading branches. The branches hold pretty heart-shaped green leaves in spring which, come autumn, fade to yellow. The idyllic leaves are accompanied by slightly acidic 'raspberry-like' berries which can be utilised for jellies, jams and wine. The sweetly scented berries are a great choice for a sensory garden and are also good for attracting wildlife. A fantastic disease-resistant tree which will add a burst of life to your garden. Ideally suited to a medium-large space.
