This video companion demonstrates the basics of planting and caring for mulberry trees. Watch the original video, then use the updated written pillar for cultivar-specific climate, size, irrigation, pruning, and harvest guidance.
Video takeaways
- Choose full sun and allow for the cultivar’s mature canopy.
- Plant at the root flare and keep mulch away from the trunk.
- Water consistently while roots establish, then adjust to soil and climate.
- Train young trees early so mature fruit remains accessible.
- Harvest fully colored fruit gently and cool it promptly.
Mulberry hardiness, mature size, fruit staining, and drought response vary by cultivar. For complete instructions, read How to Grow Mulberries. For arid regions, visit the dry-Western-climate guide.
Compare current mulberry trees, checking the individual description for mature size and climate fit.
