*One of Greg's favorites, a bush can grow as tall as a tree! Dwarf Black Mulberry - It's theBERRYthat is dwarf, not the bush. This plant can be grown as a bush or a tree, the choice is yours. It is quite easy to grow and is an abundant producer of sweet, dime-sized, blackberry-like fruit. It performs exceptionally well and produces fruit from March into June. Can be kept under 8 feet tall with adequate pruning. They grow into a large bush or tree which can reach a mature height of up to 8' to 16' tall. And while this is technically a BUSH plant, once established it does well on a less-frequent, yet deeper, TREE watering schedule. Dwarf black mulberries are self-fertile as well as disease & insect resistant.

Q: What is the best location in your yard to plant the dwarf mulberry?

Asked by: Dena MEDLEY-RIVAS - 1/11/2021

A: These are bushes that can grow quite tall. But they also will produce a great bounty. They do well in the summer sun after they are established. So with that in mind, they would do best near the outer areas of a yard, or as part of a hedge row. They can become afternoon summer shade providers if planted in front of an eastern facing wall. They can be a good survivor if planted in front of a southern or western-facing wall but will need additional help to get past the first couple years until they are established. They will do fine in front of a northern facing wall. If you choose to plant in the middle of a yard, they will obstruct the view of whatever is behind it.
