About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Start a Mulberry (Morus spp.) planting in backyard orchards from seed. The perennial garden crop needs full sun and fertile, well-drained soil through early growth.
Start seeds in a bed or container that is ready for the crop. Water moderately and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged as seedlings develop and harvest when the crop reaches the appropriate stage for eating.
