Morus sp Mulberry dwarf is a fast-growing compact fruit tree with small red-purple-black berries from late spring through summer. The lime-green leaves are an attractive feature and often used to feed silkworms. Easy-to-grow, this abundant producer of sweet medium-sized fruit has performed exceptionally well in pots yielding several crops per year even during the first season. If grown in pots, they are continuous producers cycling in and out of flower and fruit when given warm temperatures and adequate light. In the ground, they turn into a large bush. Prune in late winter when the tree is dormant, cutting it back hard to an ‘open vase’ framework. It can also be trellised to a fence or sturdy support to keep the size manageable and make it easier to harvest. A light prune in summer will also help control excessive growth.
