Planting & Care

Everbearing Mulberry bushes grow best in full sun with well-drained soil. Dig a hole about two to three times as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth as the container. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots. Once established, this hardy fruiting plant becomes drought tolerant and requires very little maintenance. Light pruning in early spring helps maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches while encouraging healthy growth.
