Mulberry Trees Varieties and Types.

Mulberry trees provide a delicious berry for eating or jam. Mulberries are not readily availble in fruit shops or markets as they are difficult to transport. Growing your own Mulberries is an alternative with black, red and white mulberries being available.

Growing Care and Varieties

Mulberry trees are easy to grow and once established crop heavily. The well known Black Mulberry (Morus nigra) and the lesser known White Mulberry (Morus Alba) are the trees that silkworms like. (Morus nigra) 'Wellington' is a sought after heavy cropping cultivar. Morus macroura 'Shatoot' produces white to pale yellow fruit, very sweet. Morus rubra, or the Red Mulberry is native to North America.
