Why it works here
Fastest fruit-tree payoff after papaya and banana. Birds love them too — plant one for you, one for the wildlife.
Care
Prune aggressively after fruiting. Otherwise leave alone.
Common problems
Staining fruit near patios — site accordingly.
Common questions
Are mulberries messy?
Yes — dropped fruit stains. Plant away from driveways and patios, or into a wildlife area.
