Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry

Excellent for small gardens or food forests! The Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry produces small to medium-sized, dark purple to black berries that have a sweet, rich taste with a hint of tartness. Great for both fresh eating and baking, jams, jellies, etc. Prune after fruiting to keep it small; berries form on . You can technically keep this mulberry tree in a pot, but it won't be super happy after a few years, even with potting it up. Best grown in the ground. Here in Zone 8a Northeast Georgia, our mother plant gets hit by early frosts that kill the flower buds and can prevent fruiting. Consider protecting your mulberry tree if early frosts are a factor in your hardiness zone.

Arrives well-rooted in a 3.5” x 9” pot.
