Notable Characteristics of  Mulberry Trees

The Common Mulberry Tree is native to many areas in Asia but is widely cultivated as a food source for silkworms. The Domestic Silk Moth lays its eggs on the leaves of the tree, and the larvae hatch into silkworms. Silkworms eat only the leaves of the Mulberry Tree.

Silkworms don’t even drink water, so the leaves must be fresh because they need all the moisture they can get. This symbiotic relationship is one that humans have encouraged because, of course, you need silkworms to make silk, a prized and sought after fabric. The leaves of this tree are a vibrant green, toothed, and pointed at the ends. They create a lush canopy of foliage where the small berries can ripen.

Landscape and Maintenance of White Mulberry Tree

This beautiful fruit tree has a relatively short lifespan compared to typical deciduous trees, living about as long as humans. The White Mulberry Tree is distinct for its rounded form, crooked trunk, and the milky sap that exudes from young twigs when broken.

It can become “weedy” because it has a large, horizontal spread, which is something to be aware of when planting – make sure it has enough room to grow without crowding. This tree tolerates heat and drought and grows well in all types of soil. Its delicate yellow-green flowers are not the show's star, although they are beautiful. Full sun and nutrient rich soil will result in sweet, deep purple Mulberries when ripe.

How to Grow and Care for Fruit Trees

Fruit trees are a rewarding addition to any landscape, offering fragrant blossoms in spring and fresh, homegrown harvests in summer or fall. Popular varieties like apple, peach, pear, and plum thrive in full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Choose trees suited to your USDA zone, and plant in early spring or fall for the best root development.

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and deep enough so the root flare sits just above the soil line. Backfill with native soil, water deeply, and apply mulch around the base—keeping it a few inches from the trunk—to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly during the first growing season, especially during dry spells.

Prune annually to shape the tree, improve air circulation, and boost fruit production. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced or fruit-specific fertilizer. With proper planting, seasonal care, and a little patience, fruit trees will reward you with beauty, shade, and bountiful harvests year after year.
