Question 1

How tall will this mulberry plant grow up to?

Accepted Answer

From my research this is not a true Morus Nigra. If planted in the ground and not pruned would grow very tall. You can keep it stunted by leaving in a large pot, and it should still produce fruit for you given good care. Or you can plant it and keep it pruned to stay small. However, I went ahead and purchased mine because it is supposed to do well in my zone which is subtropical. Planning to keep it pruned. So far, so good, just be aware many nurseries are falsely selling different species of Mulberry under the name Morus Nigra when they are not.

Question 2

Do you have 3 year old plants to sell ?

Accepted Answer

Belive me u don't need 3 years old plant. This one grew from about 4 inch tall shipped to me 7 months ago to more then 6ft. I snapped the top twice already and i did produce a lettle bit of fruit already! ;) order it, plant it ( i found that it likes a little shade more then alday sun) and enjoy!

Question 3

Upon arriving the plants looked rough, I can't get them to perk up any suggestion? I think they are going to die and I just got them, what can I do?

Accepted Answer

If it arrived in dead of winter, keep it safe from cold. Mine last spring arrived about an inch or two maximum height with two tiny (one square centimeter) leaves, but potted, guarded and began to grow. By late summer it was several feet high and bearing some berries to ripeness. Despite very cold weather in the last few weeks, it has begun breaking out new buds for the 2015 season! Still in a 8 inch pot. Don't give up on it.

Question 4

Are they guaranteed female? Male mulberrys are banned in my area, are the guananteed female?

Accepted Answer

im not an epert as i am still researching every source for the mullberry i want.. but i did run across an article that stated mullberrys tree's are male and female. so you need only one.. im looking for an everbearing morus nigra.. i want to start with 4 of them.. and in a couple years if they do well.. im going to plant them in a field im buying. maybe 10 more of those trees.. i want to use the fruit for free range egg laying chickens and and maybe pigs.. there is an article i read that says the leaves attract silk worms.. and other pests. good protein source for chickens.. and pigs. what area do you live? i wonder if we are n the same area. but i never heard of a ban.. I want to plant mine in the phillipines.. the garden dad blogger says he lives there and that the mullberry is a great fruit tree to grow there.. I agree except i still need to work out sourcing there.. imports can be a pricey and long process.. i also want to grow 4 or 5 peach trees near these and on the opposite end of the field a row of 10 orange trees.. and 2 lemons near the oranges.
