The deep maroon to nearly black fruit is exceptionally sweet with a rich, raspberry-like flavor and very little tartness, making it perfect for fresh eating right off the tree, jams, desserts, and smoothies. This fast-growing tree is highly productive once established, ripening over an extended season to provide weeks of fresh fruit. In addition to its incredible harvests, the Pakistan Mulberry is an attractive landscape tree, offering dense shade, glossy green foliage, and excellent heat tolerance, making it a wonderful choice for backyard orchards and edible landscapes in warm climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMulberries are resistant against many pests and diseases, making them an easy fruit crop especially for beginner or home backyard gardeners. Since they are so productive (several gallons harvested per year per plant), even in not so great conditions\/soils, they make an awesome addition for those interested in food security, self-sustainability, permaculture and food forest setups. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long will it take to start fruiting?\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 2-3 years if grown in ideal conditions. This is a well rooted starter plant that will grow quickly. Mulberries are a fast growing fruit tree that will start producing earlier compared to other fruit tree options. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 and up\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardy down to 25F.

My favorite is Espoma organic granular citrus-tone. Fertilize young trees to encourage lots of healthy growth with about 1\/8 cup every 1.5 months. Once trees are established, I barely fertilize. I'll throw some fertilizer its way a few times a year, starting in spring to help \"wake\" up the tree. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e***I cannot ship this plant to Hawaii due to agricultural restrictions***\u003cbr\u003ePlease understand that I only offer USPS flat rate priority mail options for plants\/bulbs\/rhizomes.
