Description

Morus rubra, Red Mulberry, is a North American native tree ranging from the mid-Atlantic to Florida and west to Nebraska and Texas, though today it is an uncommon sight in the landscape. In garden design, the Red Mulberry is used for both its ornamental value and its delicious fruit that tastes like sweet blackberries. The berries can be eaten fresh off the tree or used to make pies, jellies or jams, and in breads, muffins, and cakes. Red Mulberry is also the larval host of Mourning Cloak butterflies and the birds relish the berries. All grown up, this species can reach 50 feet in height but is more often seen at 35 feet or lower with an equal spread.

Note: Red Mulberry can dioecious, meaning male and female flowers are on separate trees, or monoecious, meaning male and female flowers on the same tree. What’s really unusual is that some trees can change from one sex to another. High temperatures, strong sunlight, and long days favor maleness in mulberries, with the opposites, as well as high humidity, bringing out female flowers.

Growing Preferences

Red Mulberry tree is very easy to grow likes an organically rich, moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. That said, it will thrive equally as well in clay soils. The more sun the better for best berry production. Mulberry trees are either dioecious or monoecious, and sometimes a tree even will change from one sex to another. Hight temperatures, strong light, and long days favor maleness in mulberries, with their opposites, as well as high humidity, bringing out female flowers. USDA Zones: 4a-8b Find Your Zone
