White Mulberry (Morus alba)
China
-
Early July to August
White mulberry is a fast-growing, medium-sized tree with a rounded canopy and a moderate lifespan. Its native origin is northern China, though today it is widely cultivated across the world. Various birds consume the fruits, aiding in seed dispersal. The fruits have versatile uses, from fresh consumption to processing. Dried mulberries provide a quick, lightweight snack and can be eaten directly from the package. They make a delicious addition to homemade energy bars, muffins, desserts, and sauces.
The fruit has a sweet flavor with slight tangy notes, juicy and refreshing.
The fruits, called mulberries, are strawberry-shaped, whitish to pink, and measure 1.5–2 cm in length. White mulberry fruits are rich in free organic acids, vitamin C, carotene, pectin, invert sugar, mucilage, gums, and resin.
Self-pollinating.
Highly tolerant to winter temperatures. Older, well-established mulberry trees withstand drought effectively.
You can purchase seedlings of White 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.
