Morus alba 'Pakistani.' The king of mulberry trees not only for its large ultimate height of 50' or more, but for the 4" long fruit that makes everyone swoon. Make sure to partake only of ripe fruit unless you want a puckered mouth for the day. Early summer harvest. The fruit blends sweet with tart in a complex berry flavor that reminds some of raspberries on steroids. Full sun, moderate summer water. Does not stain to the extent of other mulberries. Grown in 5 gal containers. Pruned to fit into 4' x 1'x 1' braced boxes. Some reports of success in zone 6, but reliable grower for zones 7-10. |
