Morus bombycis 'Unryu'
Mulberry is a fruiting tree with green toothed leaves, and small somewhat insignificant flowers followed by abundant fruit which are white, green, or pale yellow, turning red then purple or black when ripe. The Contorted Mulberry has twisted, gnarly branches. It is self-fertile, and bears fruit after 2 or 3 years from planting.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
Mulberries need deep, moisture-retentive, but well-drained soil in a situation where the tree will have up to 10 m. dia. of space in which to grow. Plant the tree in Spring, as the soil warms.
Propagating by cuttings
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Mulberries can be propagated by hardwood cuttings. Cut well-ripened young shoots 30-60cm long (1-2ft). Dip the cut end in hormone rooting powder before inserting it 15-20cm (6"-8") deep into soil in a cold frame. The following Autumn plant the young plants out.
