A tree that has been grown in the field and then lifted out of the ground when dormant. Available from November to March. The roots are more open and the direct contact with the soil encourages them to settle in and establish more readily.
These are 2yr old trees that have been grown 1yr in the field and the second in a pot. Container trees can be planted at any time of the year but establish best when planted during the autumn and need to be watered well during the first summer.
Mulberry trees are trees of great character that become gnarled and picturesque with age. They have large, broad, heart shaped leaves turning butter yellow in the autumn. Delicious, large and succulent fruits crop early in life. Sharp and intense flavour. Can be eaten fresh or used in jams. Harvesting is best done each day.
If hand picked, the fruits will be bruised and cause staining to the fingers and clothes. For a clean operation, take a large sheet and lay it under the tree and shake the boughs vigorously.
Perform best when planted in a sunny, well drained site. Mulberry trees can also be grown against walls if space is limited. Self fertile.
