White Mulberry

Morus Alba is a variety of the commonly known Mulberry Tree and is grown for both its fruit and ornamental value. It carries glossy, mid-green, heart shaped leaves which develop yellow tones in autumn before falling. Flowers produced in spring result in small, white, edible fruits in summer as it grows to 6 m tall and 4 m wide. Morus Alba is commonly grown as a shade tree, added to a mixed planting, or simply grown for fruit production.

Morus Alba is currently unavailable, but we do have other other amazing species and varieties of Morus available.

When is the best time for planting Morus alba?

The best time to plant Morus alba (White Mulberry) is during the dormant season, which spans from autumn to spring. However, the optimal timing within this period is spring, as the warming soil encourages better root establishment. This allows the young tree to settle in well before the heat of summer arrives.
