- This is an example of a Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry tree during the fruiting season in the Phoenix, AZ area. This tree is very easy to grow and very productive. It has been in the ground just over 2 years.

Love how you started with your Area and grow zone. Love it
Mulberry tree owners have the most soothing voice 😂 very intelligent.. sold… I think I’m going to get one 🥰
Haha, thank you so much. You will love it! They are delicious and give you a soothing voice. ;)
I love the Mulberry. Mine was a stick, and it is now three stalks, only two years old, had three flush of berries this year.
Greetings from Surprise! we will be planting a dwarf ever bearing mulberry tree this fall as soon as our temps drop for good! thanks for your tips and tricks. you've got a new subscriber. cheers! 🍷
What a beauty! Super healthy and happy tree.
Wow this was insightful. I was thinking I wanted more than one but this thing gets huge. Now rethinking all my mulberry thoughts! Thank you
Glad it helped. These things grow like crazy. Place them wisely. :)
These mulberries do love to be cut though. When done fruiting, you can cut it back to 4 feet tall and it will branch out again and give you fruit again. You can do this 3 times a year at least in this 9b climate, twice in my climate. In my winter I cut mine to a 5 foot tree until it wakes up in the spring.
@@7wernli I live in Charlotte NC zone 8a so what months do you trim back? Around early May? July and Sept?
@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 What soil to use for planting Mulberry ❓❓
Oh my god, beautiful bushes.
Yes, these are good looking plants for sure!
That's awesome!!!
Been looking for this tree in SoCal and finally found one from Armstrong. Really looking forward to growing this. Mulberries are amazingly delicious and can be dried as well.
I'm in Socal looking for one also, what and where is Armstrong?
@@VoltronPrime I found it at the Armstrong nursery on Harbor Blvd in Fullerton near Imperial Highway
@@iDreamOfOkrahow is your tree doing? what does the fruit taste like sour & sweet? or just plain sweet
I am out here in Torrance, going to plant one soon😎
Awesome 👏😮❤️
Helpful!

You should do a video on how you make your jam!
That's a good idea. I wish I had. I will do one next year for sure.
My salivary glands activated just looking at that tart mulberry in your hand!
Mission accomplished. :) Now my mouth is watering thinking about the tart ones.
My tree is basically a stick but around 7 feet tall with only one or two tiny branches at the bottom. So was yours like that when you say it was a stick when you put it in the ground?
No mine was closer to 2 feet tall and had a few tiny branches. One was near the bottom which is why I have the dual trunk. But it was just starting to wake up since I planted it in the spring. A few of my other trees looked like that though.
Omg osm beautiful 😍 🙏👌👌👌
Thanks! It's starting to wake up and form mulberries.
I bought one recently and it has several "trunks" not a single one. Should I prune or just let it be a multi trunk tree? TIA
This is kind of a personal preference thing. If it has multiple trunks eventually each one of those trunks will be huge and it might be a little more difficult to maintain in future years. Mine has 2 trunks. My personal preference would be 1 or 2. So it just depends on what you are looking for.
Dose it stop producing in mid summer because it gets hot?Or dose it keep producing mulberry’s?
Yes. It stops producing. It will most likely put on a few mulberries toward the end of summer but nothing like the april/may harvest.
How often if ever do you fertilize this? And what do you use?
I use organic citrus fertilizer usually 3 times a year.
Would you suggest the everbearing trees over the other mulberry varieties ?
Not necessarily. I would check with your local nursery and see what varieties do the best in your area and get a feel for how big the tree will get. Then base your decision on how big of a tree (and berry) you want. I picked this one based on the fact that they don't get as huge as some of the other mulberry trees. If I didn't have size restrictions I would probably have picked the Pakistan variety probably for a bigger berry.
I got a "Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry" from Amazon a few years back. Just finally put it into the ground now (3yrs later). It does not look like yours though. Has trident looking leaves. Every now and then I will see a Spade shaped leave like yours.
Are there different types? Where did you get yours from?
Yes there are lots of types. I got mine from Tropica Mango which was from Dave Wilson nursery. It is a Morus Nigra. Have you gotten fruit? Is it white? Maybe you have a Murus Alba. Look up those leaves. Otherwise might be hard to tell what you have.
@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 I did get some fruit this Spring. The fruit went quickly from green to red and then slowly to Black. They were tiny... but first year fruit.
Hmm, not sure. Maybe someone else will know. Hopefully the fruit taste good. Mine were about the size of a big raisin year one. Then the next year they doubled in size.
@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 I hope that happens with mine! They have been super easy to clone. I bought them for the birds (chickens and wild/both).
If they are no good they will still hopefully do their job. I do have an Illinois Everbearing and a Shangri La as well. So at least those will be decent. Thanks!!!
Does this tree rebloom and fruit continuously throughout the season or only once?
Yes, this type produces from spring until fall they say.
How does one differentiate between a dwarf and regular Illinois everbearing mulberry?
I'm not sure. I think the Illinois grows larger but not positive what the differences are.
Hello sir how are you? Is it give friuts in hole of the year or in season. I meen one time or 2/3 times in one year
Hello. In my climate where it gets 110°+ F it only fruits one main crop from April to mid May. Towards the end of summer it will usually set a few fruit but there aren't many and a lot of them don't fully ripen.
@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 Thanks for replie.
I have a weird question but do you eat the furry green stuff on the berries? Is it leafy matter or is it safe to eat? It’s not big eggs are they? I also see like webs or is it silk???? Do you wash off or just pluck and toss in mouth and eat??
Yes, I eat the whole mulberry. The green fibers are part of the fruit. Im not familiar with webs or silk. I dont normally see that in my tree. Generally speaking, I don't wash the mulberries when I am just grazing in the yard. When I bring in a big harvest I always rinse them. Here in AZ when we get into late April and May, as it heats up I will start seeing bugs in them that look like tiny ants. I usually just blow them off and eat the fruit without washing. Hope this helps.
"You might get beat" lol😆
Haha. It could happen. :)
can u aggressively prune them in the beginning to keep it much smaller?
want a 6 foot tree
Yes you can but they put on a good 8 feet of growth in all directions every year so it will be a challenge. So you would prune it way back in the winter then prune it a couple more times after it fruits in April as needed. You would be challenged but it could be done. They grow super fast.
This is my method. Cut it back immediately after it’s done fruiting. Then it will grow a ton again amd fruit. And I keeep repeating this process. There will be periods of the year your tree is big, but you can keep chopping it back to 5 feet. All the cuttings you take can be turned into clones of the original tree too which is amazing.
@@7wernli ok that sounds good
mine was just an 18" tree from etsy last year...... this year i cut it back to create a bush style........ im hoping for some nice growth this year and plan on keeping it at 6 foot....... im guessing 2 or 3 more years till fruit
I ordered one to see what might arrive on the exact border of zone 8b/9a Louisiana (It may be in my yard...that close), and a tiny little 8 inch tree with leaves showed up, so I ordered four more, plus two Pineapple Guava, and four Celeste Fig trees to go with my one year old Brown Turkey fig and three or four cuttings I`m rooting from it. I have a 100 ft long wild blackberry patch with multiple types of various tasting/shaped berries on those. I need to propagate the big sweet blackberries this year and remove one area with inferior, bitter, tiny berries if they don`t improve. I can make wine from them though but they`re just bad. My soil is really bad here...very hard, red, and concrete-like. Maybe if I make piles of forest soil and add lots of mulch I can grow these. I guess I can hack away at the ground with a miner pick I have to give the roots a chance to anchor. I had to mound up soil around my first fig tree and mulch heavily.
Nice! Sounds like you got a lot going on.
@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 My mulberry trees are growing well in the ground so far. Noticeable growth so they`re doing well. I chopped holes in the hard soil with a small pick axe and added good soil to give them a boost and added some lime pellets and liquid fertilizer.
I`m gonna plant more from rooted cuttings. I killed one removing the other four from their tiny box because of the weird way they were packaged because it looked like they only sent two instead of four because they had two root balls on each end.
It snapped in a way that couldn`t be saved. I tried but they were already in bad shape because shipping was so delayed. They were freshly rooted young green cuttings unlike the first that was an older twig. The one twig was the same price (25) as four fresh green ones and is growing the slowest. I don`t care though because I just wanted a decent start of them to propagate more nearby and give away to help the birds and hungry people in the future.
Where did you get the tree from? I really want the dwarf one .
I got this from Tropica Mango.
baker creek has a dwarf variety for sale too
I found one on eBay
How cold do your Temps get in the Winter Time there?? I am Rooting come Cuttings and want to plant them around the place here - i am in grow zone 9a (New USDA Map) here in Mississippi. But that is a really nice looking Mulberry...:)
We will get down into the high 20s on occasion. These trees wont have any trouble in 9a. Enjoy!!!
Hi thanks for the fast reply - you made up my mind-- think i will order some cuttings.
@@dirtygnomesgardens1667
Mulberry can grow from zone 5 to 10.
@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 Thanks for the reply DGG.. :)
@@baneverything5580 Thanks for t he reply ..:)
Is this the one from Dave Wilson or is this the thai one?
This is from Dave Wilson.
I'm in the same zone you are but, near Orlando FL. I've learned a shitload about our differences and similarities. Just by the clever name of your channel, I'm inclined to communicate with you on a mutual project. Look me up. I have the same giant ass annoying Mulberry as you do. Tiny ass little things.
How tall and wide do they grow?
They can get 20 feet tall and 15 feet wide. I prune mine back to about 6x6 in the winter and it will easily be 12x12 by the end of summer.
what is the wingspan diameter of the tree and height of your tree?
It gets around 12-15 ft tall and about the same width.
Mine is over 12 feet and it is the same as yours and it said it would only be 6 feet tall and its so full we can't get them all so the birds gets the top
6 feet? Yeah right. It grows more than that in a few months. :)
Not here in Florida
Where did you purchase the tree
I got it from Tropica Mango in Apache Junction.
Very delicious fruit. Anna Mária Roch from Hungary. Buda
Does it have pest ??
Ants and leaf footed bugs primarily.
I purchased what was advertised as a dwarf, self-pollinating Pakistani mulberry four years ago and it hasn't even produced one flower. Very frustrating.
That's strange because everything that I have read about mulberry tress is that they fruit in the first year!
Is it grafted? If it's not grafted, it will take 4-5 years to produce fruit. Grafted trees can produce fruit in the first year.
@@kuldeeplonkar No, it's not. Thank you! I will give it another year or so. It's a pretty tree.
Wow my mulberry never fruiting.
You should join #SHEDWARS
You are lucky! I bought a "Dwarf" mulberry tree and the only thing dwarf about it is the size of the berries. About the size of a pea. Big disappointment.
How old is it? Is it in the ground? Mine produced small berries the first year but they have gotten a little bigger as the tree matured. Hopefully the same will happen for you because pea size isn't gonna cut it. 😀 Also the bigger plumper berries come later in the season.
@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 Well it is kinda 3 years old, in a way. I bought it and planted it 3 years ago and then it had tiny berries. Then last year it got all the roots eaten by a gopher. So I picked up the branches which I cut the twigs into pieces and poked them into the ground and most took root and survived. Those are now 7' tall and the tiny berries are forming again. So it really never has had a chance to mature.
Ok, fingers crossed. Hopefully they get bigger for you!
@@dirtygnomesgardens1667 Gophers are an ever present threat out here. The farther away from my place that I can kill 'em the better! It just seems like some neighbors intentionally breed 'em!
i wish i had a land where i could plant mulberry and other verities of trees ...but god didnt gave me the fortune to do so
It don't look like a dwarf. Looks to get big like other mulberries.
If that's a dwarf I'm a midget 😆
Yeah, not a typical dwarf thats for sure. 😁
Nothing about eating the leaves.
Sorry, I've never tried the leaves. Only the fruit.
1 good for kidney
2 treat white hair
sounds like the "everbearing" part of the name is a joke. It is supposed to fruit all year but it doesn't.
It will fruit again if you prune it back hard after it’s first crop in spring. There are even TH-cam videos in which they remove the tree’s leaves after each fruiting, and get it to fruit again about 45 days later.
are you growing ay white Mulberries?
No, just this one here.
