These 2 live Red Mulberry trees (Morus rubra) are native to the Midwest and a perfect addition to any garden or landscape. With their self-pollinating nature, they will produce sweet, blackberry-like fruit that is up to one and a half inches long. The mulberry fruit is a favorite for wildlife, particularly birds and butterflies, making it a great choice for those who want to attract more wildlife into their garden.
These bare-root trees are shipped directly from our licensed nursery and are currently 12-18 inches tall. When fully mature, Red Mulberry trees can grow to a height of up to 30 feet with a spread of 20-25 feet, making them ideal for larger properties or as a shade tree in your landscape. They thrive in hardiness zones 4-8 and prefer rich, moist soil in full sun.
The trees are deciduous, meaning they will lose their leaves in the fall, but they will provide shade and beauty during the warmer months. Mulberry trees are incredibly low-maintenance and can live up to 50 years, providing sweet fruit season after season.
Each tree is carefully wrapped in biodegradable paper and plastic to maintain moisture during transit. Basic planting instructions are included to ensure your tree thrives in your environment. Please note that your tree may arrive in its natural dormant state, meaning it may not be leafed out or blooming when you receive it, but it will spring to life once planted.
We guarantee your Red Mulberry trees will arrive alive and unbroken. If they don’t, we will replace or refund them immediately. If you’re unable to plant them right away, you can store the trees in a cool, dark, dry place until you are ready to plant them.
