Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Forming a mounded, umbrella-like crown, this weeping cultivar adds visual interest both in the summer and winter. Fruiting mulberry have edible berries that are attractive to birds, however, the fruit litter on the ground can be quite messy. Plant in an area of the landscape where foot traffic will not bring fruit stains into the home. To avoid this, plant a non-fruiting cultivar.
