The White Persian Mulberry produces large, soft, berries with intense sweetness and acidity. The fruit appears similar to a large blackberry white to rosy fruit. . The fruit clusters of Persian mulberries often bends the limbs low to the ground for easy harvest. We harvest by shaking the trees and collecting the mulberries on sheets beneath the tree. Dense shade for cooling during hot summers. A naturally smaller tree, Persian Mulberry, Morus nigra ‘Alba’, will grow to about 12-15 feet if not pruned. Can also be trained as a bush.

Size of tree

Our trees range in height from 4-8 ft. in our field and trimmed to 4 to 5 ft. when shipped. Our young two year trees are most often feathered (side limbs). The trees diameter (caliper) is often 1/2 to 3/4 inch; *As noted by University of California Scientists and other qualified professionals the most successful trees often have caliper from 1/2" to 5/8" and usually establish faster than smaller and larger planting stock. .

Pruning tip

Basic idea for Pruning: Most fruit trees should be pruned in frost-free periods mid to late winter. (apricots best after bud break) Remove most vertical branches and shorten side branches. Fruiting wood is best on horizontal to 45 degree limbs. Learn more...
