Brazilian Mulberry

About Brazilian Mulberry

Botanically Morus nigra, the Brazilian Mulberry is a cultivar prized for its exceptionally sweet, large, juicy berries and ornamental value. It typically reaches up to about 30 feet at maturity, with a spreading canopy of glossy, dark green leaves. Berries range from deep purple to black and are enjoyed fresh, dried, or in jams and smoothies.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sunlight - at least 6-8 hours daily.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with pH 6.0-7.0, slightly acidic to neutral.
• Climate: Adaptable to temperate through subtropical regions with moderate rainfall and mild winters.

Planting & Spacing

Plant with room for a spreading canopy; container-growing is possible while young.

Care

• Watering: Regular watering, especially in dry, hot periods; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
• Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer high in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium once annually in spring.
• Pruning: Prune during the dormant season to remove dead or diseased branches, shape the tree, and promote new growth.

Fruiting & Harvest
