Morus hybrid

30 × 20' One of the hardiest mulberry varieties we have come across. Has been known to survive winter temperatures of –50°.

Tasty medium-sized black fruit ripens over a period of several weeks in midsummer, though does not have as long of a picking season as the everbearing types.

Originally introduced by St. Lawrence Nursery, the mother tree from upstate New York is now 70' tall and more than 170 years old! Self-fruitful grafted cultivar. Z3.

Additional Information

Mulberries Morus spp.

Sweet flavorful purple-black 1" blackberry-like fruit is delicious fresh, in sauces, pies, fruit leather or smoothies. What fruit you don’t pick, the birds will. Great tree for viewing a huge variety of birds up close. Plant it next to the chicken pen where it will rain chicken feed into the yard for several weeks, or put down a sheet to collect the fruit as it falls.

Dense round-topped tree is one of the last to leaf out in the spring and one of the first to set fruit. Ripens in mid-July and continues for several weeks into late summer. Fast growing, even in poor soils. Prefers moist well-drained soils but otherwise adaptable. Full sun to partial shade; withstands pollution, drought, wind and salt.
