This bush form of mulberry continuously produces sweet blackberry-like fruit throughout the spring and early summer. A great choice for container growing, minor pruning will keep the plant compact. Mature height 10-20ft. if grown in the ground.
It is a compact, deciduous fruit tree prized for its sweet, dark purple‑black berries and adaptability to smaller spaces such as patio containers, garden beds, and urban yards. Unlike the standard black mulberry that can become a large tree, dwarf forms are manageable in size (often kept around 5–10 ft tall or smaller with pruning) while still producing abundant fruit.
These trees produce juicy, rich‑flavored berries that are similar in appearance to elongated blackberries and are excellent for fresh eating, jams, jellies, juices, pies, and preserves. The fruits often ripen from late spring into summer or throughout the growing season in warmer climates. Mulberries emerge from simple catkin flowers in spring and are self‑fertile, so a single tree will reliably set fruit without a pollinator.
The foliage consists of heart‑shaped green leaves that create an attractive seasonal canopy, and because the tree is relatively slow‑growing and compact, it is suitable for container culture—making it a popular choice for gardeners with limited space. Regular light pruning will help maintain a desired height and encourage new fruiting wood.
