Dwarf Mulberries Are Made for Small Gardens

🏡 Dwarf Mulberries Are Made for Small Gardens

Everybody loves mulberries. Until the mulberry becomes a TREE.
Traditional mulberries can become substantial shade trees. Great if you have the room. Less convenient when the berries are twenty feet above your head - or dropping all over the driveway.
That's why customers keep asking us for dwarf mulberries.
Small enough to manage. Easy to harvest. Excellent in containers. And they can produce an astonishing amount of fruit for their size.

🍇 Dwarf doesn't always mean the same thing

Some mulberries are genetically compact. Others simply respond beautifully to pruning and container culture.

Dwarf Everbearing is one of the easiest. Fast growing, dense and full, virtually pest-free for us - and very easy to keep at picking height.

Issai is a compact Japanese selection, known for fruiting young. In our experience, it also seems particularly happy with Florida heat.
And that's important.

🍇 Dwarf Burgundy really surprised us

Our Dwarf Burgundy Mulberry (in the video) was an experimental Mulberry seedling. We planted it in the ground and watched it produce abundantly for a couple of months.
Okay. We were convinced.
Now we have five growing in the ground, with more plants coming next spring.

Dwarf Burgundy appears to be a naturally compact hybrid, staying around 5-6 ft. Even more interesting, it can flower and fruit on both old and new wood, helping give it a long fruiting season. Young plants can begin producing surprisingly early.
Basically, a little bush trying very hard to behave like an orchard.

🍇 Small trees, reliable crops

Full-size mulberries can grow in Florida, but not every variety loves our long, hot climate. A tree may grow perfectly well while its fruit crop is less predictable.
Our dwarf varieties have been much more dependable. They don't seem bothered by the heat and produce reliably year after year.
And because they're small, harvesting is almost ridiculously easy.
No ladder.
No giant tree.
Just reach out and pick.

🍇 The fruit supermarkets can't handle

There's another good reason to grow mulberries at home.
Fresh ripe mulberries are soft and delicate. They don't store or ship particularly well, which is one reason you rarely see beautiful tree-ripe mulberries in a supermarket.
But in your backyard?
That's not a problem.
Pick. Eat. Repeat.

And with a dwarf mulberry, you don't even need an orchard. A sunny patio and a large container can be enough.
Same juicy mulberries. Much less tree.
