These trees, ranging from 12-24 inches in height, are shipped bare root during dormancy and potted during the growing season, ready to establish themselves in your garden. The Red Mulberry, also known as Morus rubra, is a native of Eastern North America and is known for its delicious and nutritious fruit, making it a fantastic addition to any edible landscape or native plant collection.
These resilient trees thrive in USDA zones 4-8 and can reach impressive heights of 30-60 feet at maturity, providing significant shade and beauty. The Red Mulberry Tree adapts to various moist soil types, making it remarkably easy to grow in most areas without extensive soil amendments. Birds readily disperse the seeds, further contributing to its natural adaptability and spread.
