Seed & start

Perennial

Plant once, returns every year.

Stachi's tip

Mulberry grows into a REAL tree (5-10 m) — not raised-bed material, more for a corner of the property. Heavy yielding: a mature tree gives 20+ kg of berries. Warning: ripe fruit stains everything purple it touches — paving stones, clothes, bird beaks.
