Select a mulberry variety suitable for your climate. Dwarf mulberries are great for small spaces, while larger varieties need more room to grow.
Mulberries thrive in sunny spots with well-draining soil. Pick a location with plenty of sunlight to ensure healthy growth and sweet fruits.
Loosen the soil and mix in compost or organic matter. Mulberries prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil for optimal growth and fruit production.
Plant the mulberry sapling in a hole twice the size of its root ball. Gently cover the roots with soil and water thoroughly to help it settle in.
Water your mulberry plant regularly but avoid overwatering. Keep the soil moist, especially during the growing season, for the best results.
Prune your mulberry tree to shape it and remove dead branches. Regular pruning encourages fruiting and prevents the plant from growing too tall.
Harvest mulberries when they’re fully ripe and deep purple. Gently shake the branches to collect the fruits and enjoy them fresh or in recipes.
