I have one in a 3 gallon container going on 4 years it's about 4 ft tall and fruit heavy I have replaced half the soil 2 times. And removed the top layer of mulch and replaced it. this is the first year I have pruned it both, for more fruit and to try and bush out this dwarf tree 😁
Dwarf everbearing is just one of many dwarf mulberry cultivars and does bear small fruit. But there are other dwarf mulberry cultivars out there and some bear decent-sized fruit, like World's Best. I grow Thai Dwarf and the fruit ranges from 1-2" long and is plump. The smallest dwarf variety on tree size is "Girardi Dwarf." It stays comparatively small at a 12' max without pruning. That's undeniably smaller than a Pakistan or Persian that can top out above 50'.
What would be an appropriate variety for a half wine barrel planter?
You just saved me bacon! I have nine trees I started from cuttings that I was planning to plant 6 feet apart. Now that I know that they will be full-size trees I may only plant half of them and much further apart than originally planned.Thank you for the great advice.
I actually appreciate the tartness of these dwarf overbearing mulberries. Mixed in with with berries that are only sweet (no flavor), they actually combine into a flavor that is better than either/or
Great to hear just planted one7 months ago ,be looking forward for some fruit...
Thanks, Alan, if I ever get that variety, I will make sure it grows in full sun and away from a foundation. I have a 3 yr. old small Silk Hope and it is loaded with fruit this year. I took cuttings from it and they are leafing out in the pot. I lost a four yr. old Pakistan a few yrs. ago from a late freeze. The nursery said I have to put a lot of mulch on top of those more sensitive in this zone 9a. I'm sticking with the more cold tolerant ones.
Awesome tree so much fruit
thanks for the information, going to keep mine in containers lol
I used to 'poo poo' on this variety. But given this video, I'll give it a re-evaluation. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I grew up with dwarf everbearing mulberries in my backyard and this was in West Michigan zone 5 or 6. I always love to eating them. I didn't ever put together why some of them were tart and why some where sweet but I love them both.
I planted mine last year, only got about 5 fruits from it so far this year, I've been supplementing with wild red american mulberries found in the woods lol. I get about 50 berries a week or so and my kids have been eating them all lol
Definitely a must have in the food forest 👍
Been eating mine too! The first thing that ripens in our yard.
Good video, I have a few (ok 9 of them) that are 3 years old in grow bags and cant wait to get them in the ground to get to full potential size. They taste great for sure!
I have 3 dwarf everbearing, and love them! I'm getting a Teas weeping next!
Thanks for sharing, very helpful. I have 7 or 8 dwarf mulberrys but they are young.
one of my favorites
I think I saw one of these on my neighborhood morning walk yesterday.
i have my in a 25 gallon grow pot it also fruiting heavily this year
One reason I planted mine was to distract my bird friends from my figs but who knows if it will work. I`m about to get a cutting from one to plant near three more figs in another part of the yard that gets the most sun. I`m in central Louisiana on the zone 8b/9a line.
I planted 4 this year. Some have tripled in size but no fruit yet since March 8 in ground.
Second what you said about full sun and taste. I noticed the same thing. It flowers during December in Florida and ripes around February, it was cold this winter and it had a black and sour taste. My kiddo will eat anyways:). I believe in Florida it can give you 3 crops per year. My tree is too small. Another case, if not in full sun it will ripen fruits much slower
I'm in Florida also, how much and how often can they be pruned back to stay small and still bear fruit?
@@bethb8276 mine is too small to prune. Prune it once you harvest most of the fruits and it will trigger blooming again. That specific variety! Even 1 foot tall single stem plant will bloom:) Make sure you have several branches! less branches less crops. I have my own gardening channel if you interested how to grow in Florida.

@QCTropicals I purchased a dwarf mulberry, right now it's a long stem. I'm in N. Texas and we have been getting a lot of rain. Do mulberries have a problem with moist ground?
Do Shangra-la planted in the shade have the same issue with lack of sweetness?
I don't have any in the shade to test
How much full sun do mullberrys need? Im in the south 8a and the afternoon is brutal. Typically my garden gets sun from 12-5.
your brutal afternoon sun is my early morning sun for me 🤣
Do these make a good tasting wine? I always add unbleached sugar to my wine regardless to get 15-18% ABV. It would be great to be able to harvest enough fruit to get nearly pure filtered juice which is very hard to do with blackberries.
not sure about wine but yea tons of fruit.
This is a variety of the Morus nigra which should be hardy down to zone 5 and they are native to southwest Asia. They do well most places I've seen. I had one I saved on clearance that was root bound last year from a nursery and it's doing great now but certainly looked like it was close to dead.
I'll send you one to try during your winter to see what happens
@@qctropicals you got my address brother! Look at your recent Ice cream bean orders. I'd be more than happy to test something for you.
Is this the only mulberry variety which gives 2 crops per year?
no
Great information to know, thank u so much
Just planted the Pakistan mulberry. Any tips?
❤
water :)
@@qctropicals any special organics
Any tips if I should plant mine in blazing Texas sun?
is your sun hotter than mine here in the desert?
@@qctropicals I have no idea. I'm in Dallas, I got this plant from local nursery but not sure if it should be in partial or full sun.
@@samuraioodon i was being sarcastic bud. I'm way hotter than you and they're in full blasting sun all day. Just water.
@@qctropicals thank you! I didn't want to assume anything 🙂
which is the more productive and gives more fruit per weight, Dwarf everbearing or pakistani?
hard to say but i wanna say everbearing
On the Internet I see that almost all mulberries are good for zone 6-10, not sure why it should die during freeze.....
frozen ground is different. Try it if you don't believe me
@@qctropicals Mulberry grow in Europe in place where ground gets frozen. They might have other varieties, not what we grow here in south states.
I have this tree (Dwarf Everbearing) from Starks Nursery. This is the second season in ground in mid Missouri zone 6b. I starts leafing later than the apples, but still got hit with a late frost that killed all the leaves. It has now put out new leaves and looks very healthy; about 8 feet tall. Our low temp during the winter was -12 degrees F.
@@charlesdevier8203 Thank you for the confirmation! That's what I thought that should be mulberry varieties which can overwinter and -12 degrees F quite cold:)
