Morus nigra - Black Mulberry
Availability: In stock
Time was when Mulberries were the food of kings and hard to come by, today you'll still struggle to find them in any super markets, and indeed, they are still as fit for Royalty today as ever - the national collection of Mulberries is in fact planted at Buckingham and Kensington palaces amongst others. They make the most amazing jams and preserves, or simply used as other summer fruits in all manner of deserts and just on their own as a healthy snack.
Producing fruit over a 3 week period towards the end of summer, the fruits are great to use for jam, cake, snacks or other dishes. Plant in a fertile, well-drained soil in a bright position, should you wish to prune, this can be done in the spring.
Mulberries are beautiful as a solitary tree or used in a mixed orchard setting, perhaps as a feature tree at the rear of a herbaceous border. They are fully hardy and easy to grow.
