Morus nigra, Black Mulberry
Asia Minor
-
Early June to late July
Black mulberry (Morus nigra) is a tall deciduous tree originating from Southwest Asia, cultivated for so long that its original habitat cannot be precisely determined. It was introduced to Europe centuries ago and has become well-established. Black mulberry is valued in landscape architecture for its wide, dense canopy and its adaptability to various environmental conditions. The fruits are eaten fresh as seasonal fruit and processed into syrups, juices, jams, and the famous mulberry brandy. Leaves and bark are used for medicinal teas, particularly for sore throats and diabetes. The medicinal properties of black mulberry are extensive.
The flesh is juicy, aromatic, and highly flavorful.
The fruits are black-purple to deep black, far more flavorful than white mulberries and almost twice as large. They consist of densely packed drupelets similar to blackberries, attached to a stem, measuring 2–3 cm in length, dark purple in color. They are a prime example of a compound fruit.
Self-pollinating.
Black mulberry tolerates low temperatures better than white mulberry and is more resilient to dry climates. It adapts well to urban conditions and is resistant to most diseases and pests.
You can purchase seedlings of Black Mulberry at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
