Mulberry PkMorus alba Pakistani “the king of the mulberry trees”

This type of mulberry tree grows to a height of 50′ or more, and their 4″ long fruit is spectacular. Make sure to eat only ripe fruit unless you want a seriously puckered mouth, it ripens and is ready in early summer. The fruit blends sweet with tart in a complex berry flavor that reminds some of a “super” raspberry. The tree requires full sun, moderate summer water. Does not stain to the extent of other mulberries. Some reports of successful growth in zone 6, but a reliable grower for zones 7-10.
