Delicious Berries on a Multi-Stem Bush Delicious Berries the First YearIf you like blackberries - you'll LOVE mulberries. And you can grow your own with this fruit bush! This Black Beauty produces succulent mulberries (that offer even more juicy flavor than blackberries!) The delicious and nutritious fruit grows in abundance from June to August. It's special because the berries ripen over an extended period of time... unlike many fruits which ripen all at once. This easy-to-grow bush, which can be trained into a tree form, will provide you and your family with enough fruit to keep you happy all summer. Expect berries your very first year. Plant your mulberry bush in full sun to enjoy a delightful display of flowers around May. Then, it quickly sets fruit. You'll pick a surprising amount of berries, and while they're absolutely delicious right off the vine, you can preserve them to enjoy throughout the year. Mulberries make tasty jams, jellies and taste amazing in pies. Ornamental BushIt's not just a prolific producer of luscious fruit - the Black Beauty Mulberry quickly matures into a stately shrub or tree, when pruned. Swiftly reaching heights up to 15 feet tall and 10 feet wide, it's a magnificent sight. Featuring large heart-shaped leaves, some sculpted with lobes, it's a beautiful specimen that offers year-round interest. The bark on younger shrubs is typically an attractive orangish color, maturing to gray-brown. Low MaintenanceDon't be fooled by its beauty or ability to produce a massive amount of fruit. It's not complicated to own this bush at all! We've groomed it here at our nursery until it's ready for your landscape. Just plant it and enjoy watching it flower and fruit the first year. Our Black Beauty Mulberry Bushes are drought tolerant and extremely sturdy - able to tolerate high winds, extreme heat, poor soil, and pollution. If you want a fruit tree that doubles as an attractive ornamental, then we highly recommend this bush. Always in demand, we tend to sell out quickly, so order now!
