Black Mulberry 50 Seeds (Morus nigra) - Heirloom

An ornamental deciduous tree, the Black Mulberry is known for producing dark black, delicious plump fruits in late spring. This medium-sized, long-lived tree can grow up to 20 to 30 feet high, with wide-spreading branches.

In the spring, the tree produces small catkins that ripen into the sought-after fruits in early summer. Mulberry trees are renowned for their ability to bear fruit for hundreds of years, and they are wind-pollinated, requiring no cross-pollination to set fruit.

Adaptable to a range of soil conditions, mulberries thrive in deep, rich soil but can also tolerate thin, gravelly soil, rocky slopes, and dry sites. They prefer full sun, but are one of the least "fussy" of the fruit trees, making them a versatile choice.

The mulberry seeds provided are suitable for planting in the current and following growing seasons. Before sowing, it is recommended to soak the seeds in water for 24 hours and then mix them with damp potting soil. The seed mix should be stored in a plastic bag in the fridge for 8 weeks before being sprinkled onto damp soil and covered with plastic to encourage germination.

These mulberry seeds are stored in environmental conditions that promote seed viability, namely dark, dry, and cool. The seed envelope includes detailed growing instructions and plant images to guide the successful cultivation of this ornamental fruit tree.

In summary, the Black Mulberry is a hardy, low-maintenance deciduous tree that can thrive in a variety of soil types and climatic conditions. Its ability to produce delicious, plump fruits for years makes it an attractive choice for gardeners and orchardists alike.
