Mulberry Leaves

Our seedlings are of the variety Morus alba, tatarica. They are a very hardy strain of white mulberry. Trees have been in my garden for at least two years and have been used to feed my silkworms. Leaf form varies from large and heartshaped to "cut leaf" lace. All are good silkworm food. This variety has separate male and female plants. Only the females make berries. Plant several to be sure of at least one berry producer.

 

 

NOTE: Trees can only be shipped within the continental U.S.

Additional Product Information

Mulberry trees like full sun or partial shade. They need a little water in the summer for the first few years. Their final size if not cut back is about 15 feet by 15 feet, but they'll stay smaller if you cut them back each summer to feed the silk worms.

Mulberry trees make lots of tasty small berries starting in the fourth year after planting - great for jam or to attract birds.
