Tatarian White Mulberry - Unsexed

Tatarian white mulberries (Morus alba var. tatarica, also known as Russian mulberry) produce edible fruit that look somewhat like an elongated blackberry. Fruit colour is variable from white to black and anywhere in between. Great for jams, preserves, drying, and fresh eating. Our trees are unsexed, meaning they could be male, female, or of the monoecious type that have both types of flowers on the same tree. Only females and monoecious trees can produce fruit.  These are the most cold hardy mulberries for our northern climate.

Canadians are largely unfamiliar with mulberries and their only cultural reference to them are from nursery rhymes where they are referred to as bushes. You should know that these are trees that can grow 30-50ft tall at maturity, though they can be pruned aggressively once they get well established.

Seed Source(s): Ukraine

Hardiness (Canada): 4b [What is my hardiness zone?]

Light Requirements:  Part Sun - Full Sun

Note that we sometimes trim taller trees down to their described height in order to not have to pass additional shipping costs on to our customers. In our experience this has almost no effect on their growth even in the first year of growth after planting. The ample roots make sure of it!
