Mulberry is not only for silkworms


Mulberry (Morus) is associated with China, silkworms, and noble, elegant silk. And rightly so. However, in our climate, mulberry is primarily a beautiful, decorative tree of fruit-growing importance.


Its dark, oblong fruits resemble blackberries and ripen from June to September. They are sweet, delicate, with a sour aftertaste. They are tasty as fresh, as well as in the form of jams, juices, cake additives, and other sweet treats.
The mulberry tree has a nice, regular habit and looks good in gardens and public greenery. It has large, green leaves that turn yellow in autumn.
It is worth knowing that both fruits and leaves are used for medicinal purposes.

We have two varieties of these interesting and still not very popular trees for you:
  •  Morus alba 'Milanowek', a Polish variety that grows up to about 8 m in height. It bears abundantly. Fruits are tasty with firm flesh.
  • Morus rubra 'Illinois Everbearing' is a cross between Morus alba and Morus rubra, which reaches about 8 m in height. The fruits are large, dark, and appear already on 2-3-year-old plants.
Both are available in P9.
Practical tips:
  • Mulberry can grow and bear fruit in semi-shaded places, but in sunny places, bears tastier fruits.
  • It grows best in light, airy, and moderately fertile soils. In colder parts of Europe, on too fertile soils, it can become woody too late and freeze over. 
  • We recommend planting dark fruit varieties so that they do not stain sidewalks and cars as they fall.

The minimum order depends on the size of the plants:

  • P9 -> 80 pcs / variety
  • P12 -> 75 pcs / variety
  • C1.5, C2 - 50 pcs / variety
  • C3 and bigger -> 25 pcs / variety
