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. 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. 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.
