Mulberry Tree 'King James 1st'

The Mulberry Tree is a very long-lived medium sized tree known for its beautiful heart shaped bright green leaves. Rich purple black fruit is loved by both children and the birds!

Morus nigra is rightly loved for its heart shaped serrated green leaves. The bark is gnarled, giving even younger trees an old and historic appearance. The berries emerge throughout the summer time, ripening to deep purple, luscious and juicy fruit in September.

In spring, cut grass and spray with seaweed solution, come summer collect the fruit as they drop and enjoy the leafy glade of its leaves. Not much pruning is necessary but thin and remove any dead or diseased growth in early winter. This tree will tolerate most soil conditions, preferring a lighter well drained soil and a warm aspect.
