One to two years, sometimes the very first season.
USDA zones 5–10, from -20F winters to hot summers.
Standard trees 20–30 ft; dwarfs 6–10 ft in pots.
No, they are self-pollinating.
Sweet and juicy, like a blend of blackberry and raspberry.
Everbearing types ripen gradually from summer into fall.
Yes, but trees are so productive there’s plenty to share.
Dark-fruited varieties can stain; white mulberries do not.
Yes, dwarf types (Dwarf Everbearing, Issai) fruit well in pots.
Many live for decades; Illinois Everbearing can endure for generations.
Mulberries are low-glycemic, support healthy blood sugar, improve heart health, and are rich in antioxidants.

Picture this: it’s July, the sun is warm, and you step outside to a tree dripping with berries. You reach up, and your fingers come away stained purple. The taste? Like blackberries kissed with raspberry — sweet, juicy, unforgettable.
That’s what a Mulberry gives you. And the best part? You don’t wait years. Many trees fruit the very next season. Dwarf types can even fruit nearly year-round in pots — fresh berries on your patio, without leaving home.
