Enjoy Fresh, Sweet Mulberries With the Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry Tree

Compact, Easy-to-Grow Tree That Delivers Bountiful Fruit in Small Spaces

The Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry Tree (Morus nigra) is a self-fertile, compact fruit tree that produces sweet, blackberry-like mulberries from summer through fall. Perfect for small yards, patios, or containers, this low-maintenance tree provides fresh berries for snacking, jam-making, or winemaking—starting in its first year!

Black mulberry fruit has many health benefits including immune-boosting effects, chocked full of vitamin C, other vitamins, and antioxidants, and can even improve your vision! Not only that, but the intense flavor of the fruit can leave you salivating for more.

Dwarf Mulberry bushes are self-fertile fruit trees and you do not need another pollinator to cross-pollinate and produce the berries. You can grow the plant as a multi-stemmed bush or train it into a small tree. The Mulberry leaves are heart-shaped and abundant on the branches during the active growing seasons. Being deciduous, the tree will lose its green leaves over winter to go into dormancy and prepare for fruit production.

Only a small space is required to produce full-size berries with this dwarf fruit tree. They are perfect for small spaces in your yard. Harvest the berries from May to July depending on your location and climate. You’ll have berries in the first year of planting!

Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry Tree Care

Native mulberry trees prefer well-drained, fertile soil that is rich in nutrients. If your soil isn’t productive enough, you can amend the native soil in your landscape with our Fruit Tree Planting Mix. They are very forgiving and adaptable trees — can be grown in wet soil but are also drought-tolerant during dry spells. Fertilize annually to provide the nutrients it needs to produce a bounty of berries. Most mulberry varieties are pest and disease resistant.

When to Prune Everbearing Mulberry Trees?

Pruning can depend on what your landscape goal is with this tree. You may want to keep it small and maintained in a container for easy picking or you may want to let it grow to its largest size so you can pick as many berries as the tree will produce. 

The absolute best time to prune mulberries is in late winter while the tree is leafless and dormant. You will have the best visuals of the branch structure to make proper pruning cuts. Prune back any crossed or dead branches to encourage new growth.
