✅ You are purchasing Exact Plant #47, a 4-year-old Black Mulberry that stands 30-36 inches tall. The pictures of berries are for reference only, showing the kind of dark, sweet berries you can expect to grow on this tree.
✅ The plant will be shipped bare root with roots wrapped in wet media during dormancy (November-May). During the summer, it will be shipped in a plastic container with soil. The main roots are professionally pruned for shipping. It's recommended to plant or pot it promptly upon arrival, keeping the roots moist at all times and providing some shade. The plant will be secured in a box for safe delivery.
✅ This Black Mulberry is semi self-pollinating, but it's a good practice to have two or more trees for cross-pollination. The fruit ripens dark black and is similar to blackberries. The sweet berries can be harvested over a month's time in early summer. They're great for making pies, tarts, cobblers, or enjoying raw.
✅ The mature tree can reach a height of 50-70 feet with a spread of 40 feet. It is adaptable to a wide range of soils and thrives in Zones 5-9. The plant is also highly adaptable to moisture conditions.
✅ Your tree will be sent via quick delivery methods to ensure it arrives in the best shape, and a tracking number will be provided. For international buyers, please contact me first, as some countries have restrictions on importing plants. If the plant needs to be cut shorter for mailing, we can arrange that.
✅ I prefer to mail plant material on Monday or Tuesday to ensure it doesn't sit in a post office over the weekend. Please check your state's local laws for plant entry regulations. Due to U.S.D.A. restrictions, this plant cannot be sent to TX, FL, AZ, HI, CA, or Puerto Rico.
