Mulberry Trees
MULBERRY
(Morus)
Mulberries are a very adaptable tree that can grow well in many parts of Australia which makes them a great choice for the backyard, especially if you’ve got plenty of space.
They’re fast-growing and some varieties can reach up to an incredible 12 metres in height, making them an excellent choice for some shade in the garden.
They can, of course, be pruned to stay smaller and more compact.
While they tend to have very few insect pests, birds unfortunately do enjoy the fruit. This can be both a blessing and a curse for the garden. Since the berries are quite easy to pick, birds and other critters will often go for them first, giving you a bit more time to harvest or protect your other fruits.
Mulberry trees are self-pollinating and produce a good volume of fruit in late spring to early summer.
