Mulberry Tree

Mulberry trees are tall fruit trees that add great value to your yard or orchard. Enjoy their fruits in the summertime! If you love wildlife, such as birds and squirrels, this is a perfect native fruiting tree to plant, as it is disease-resistant, pest-resistant, low-maintenance, and easy to care for. Native plants typically require very little, if any, fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides. Under normal soil conditions, they thrive very well. Flowers on this tree will bloom in the spring. They are small and green, not ornamental. However, the flowers and leaves have a subtle, spicy, earthy scent you will enjoy without ornamental flowers. This fruit tree requires at least moderate maintenance to thrive in your yard.
