Mulberries are self-fertile and easy to grow. Not only is the fruit delicious, but the leaves are also edible and tasty too. Cook the greens as a nice side at dinner or boil them to make tea. The Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry is an abundant producer that performs extremely well both when grown in a container or in the ground. If kept warm, the tree will produce over a long season. Scientific name: Morus nigra

  • Average mature height: 2-6 feet in a pot / 10-15 feet in the landscape
  • Fertilizer: Unnecessary, but mulberries may benefit from a once a year application of 10-10-10.
  • Light: They do best in full sun but tolerate light shade.
  • Pests: Squirrels and grasshoppers like the leaves and can occasionally be a problem.
  • Soil: Well-drained, fertile. Tolerates most conditions except for wet soil. Once established, they are drought-tolerant.
  • Spacing: Consider planting away from walkways and driveways because the abundant fruit can be messy.
  • Water: Average watering needs. Drought tolerant.
  • Zones: Perennial in zones 5-11

Planted in fall 2022, producing lots of fruit now.

Planted these mulberries in fall 2022. Did get a few fruit last year but not much to speak of. This year have been eating handfuls of mulberries daily for about 3 weeks at this point (3 May 2025). They made it through the Central Texas droughts last year and the year before with minimal hand watering, however the soil around the roots is very heavily mulched. The trees/shrubs are now about 10 feet tall. They grow quickly.
