Full Description
Black Mulberry (Morus Nigra) produces excellent fruit which is like a giant blackberry but colours are more purple black. Truly delicious and delicate fruit which is why you will not usually see it in shops or supermarkets. It is fair to say that the fruits will not appear until the Black Mulberry is about 7/9 years old.
Advised not to plant it near a path as the fruit do stain and wear gloves when harvesting the fruits. Pruning can be done in late Autumn when the tree is dormant.

Aftercare
Generally Black Mulberry do require some pruning but not excessively. Prune to take out any dead, diseased or damaged branches as this will improve the air flow and manage the shape of the tree. Thrives on sheltered but sunny position.
