To grow a mulberry tree, simply choose a sunny spot in your yard with well-drained soil. Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball of the tree and amend the soil with compost or manure. Place the tree in the hole and backfill with soil, tamping down gently to remove any air pockets. Water the tree well after planting.
Water your mulberry tree regularly, especially during the first year after planting. Fertilize the tree in spring with a balanced fertilizer. Prune the tree as needed to maintain its shape and size.
Mulberry trees typically start producing fruit within 3-5 years of planting. The fruit is ripe in late summer or early fall and can be eaten fresh, dried, or used in a variety of recipes. Mulberry fruit is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
