Morus nigra Wellington

Black Mulberry

Morus nigra Wellington, commonly known as the Mulberry Tree, is a deciduous, fruiting tree. It produces tasty fruit that are rarely found in shops. In spring it produces small white flowers that result in the medium-sized, black, succulent yet tart, berries in summer. The foliage is mid-green and develops yellow tones in autumn before falling, and typically grows to 8 m tall and 10 m wide. Morus nigra Wellington is commonly grown as a shade tree, added to a mixed planting, or simply grown for fruit production.

When is the best time for planting Morus nigra Wellington?

The best time to plant Morus nigra Wellington (Black Mulberry) is during the dormant season, which spans from autumn to spring. However, the optimal timing within this period is spring, as the warming soil encourages better root establishment. This allows the young tree to settle in well before the heat of summer arrives.
