Red mulberry

Plant in moist, fertile, slightly acidic soil in full sun to partial shade; the red mulberry is the only mulberry native to eastern North America and produces berries superior in flavor and nutrition to the introduced white mulberry — richer, more complex, and deeply red to black when fully ripe. It is an ecologically critical plant, providing fruit for hundreds of wildlife species at a critical early-summer period. The berries are edible fresh or made into pies, jams, wine, and dried fruit; harvest is best done by spreading a tarp and shaking the branches, as berries stain everything they touch. Red mulberry is distinguished from white mulberry by its leaves, which are rough on the upper surface (smooth in white mulberry). It unfortunately hybridizes readily with the invasive white mulberry where the two grow together, threatening the genetic integrity of pure wild populations; purchasing certified native red mulberry trees from reputable nurseries is important. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 240–360 дюймів Висота: 240–600 дюймів Дні до схожості: 30–60 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 10–18°C
