Highly prized for both the ornamental value and the edible fruits, which are a deep, glossy red. Mulberries are very hard to come by in the supermarkets, so if you want to enjoy the taste of this unique, great tasting fruit, then the best way is to grow your own! Heavily cropping, this deciduous tree will work well in a larger garden, as long as it is planted in full sun, out of cold, drying winds. Avoid remedial pruning, since mulberries 'bleed' sap from the cuts; only prune during the dormant season, about a month after leaf fall. This tree can also be grown in containers for up to 15 years, if watered carefully during the summer months.

If your plants are looking a little wilted right now, don't worry! Plants like to be filled with water to keep their structure, and when it's hot that water evaporates.
Just give them an off-schedule watering and they'll be right as rain in no time! Be careful not to flood them - plants don't like extremes.
Fruit Benefits
These fruits taste best when freshly picked from their branches. They please even the most sophisticated of palates, and can be made into jams and preserves to bring great summer memories on autumn or winter days. Fruit plants are a valuable addition to any garden, bearing in mind that they do not only provide fruits, but also make a bold statement in garden arrangements by producing clouds of pink and white flowers, which at the slightest breeze fall like raindrops. When planning your garden, try to choose varieties with fruits that ripen from early summer to late autumn to ensure a constant supply of fresh fruits throughout the warmer months.
