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.
