Earthcare Seeds Black Mulberry 50 Seeds Morus nigra Non GMO - Open Pollinated - Heirloom

Black Mulberry is a medium-sized long-lived deciduous tree growing 20 to 30 feet high and considered an ornamental fruit tree with wide-spreading branches. In spring the tree produces little catkins which ripen in early summer to dark black, delicious plump fruits. Mulberry is known for producing fruit for hundreds of years. Mulberry trees are wind-pollinated and can set fruit without any pollination. Cross-pollination is not necessary. Mulberries prefer deep, rich soil, but will tolerate thin gravelly soil, rocky slopes, and dry sites. Mulberries prefer full sun, but otherwise, are one of the least "fussy" of the fruit trees.
