Pakistani Mulberry are known for their uniquely long (3-5 inches) and incredibly flavorful mulberries. Mulberries are a sweet and plentiful fruit. They are excellent eaten right out of hand, but they are often used to preserves, jellies, and jams.
How to care for Pakistani Mulberry
Light. Thrives in full sun and also grows in light shade.
Water. Water regularly while it establishes. After that, mulberry trees rarely need irrigation.
Soil and feeding. Mulberries tolerate infertile, sandy soil and generally do not need fertilizer.
Size. Grows to 15 ft or more. Like other mulberries it can get large, so give it room.
Pruning. Prune young trees lightly to build a strong framework. On older trees remove only dead, damaged or crossing limbs, since large cuts heal slowly.
Problems to watch. Birds take much of the fruit. Fallen berries stain, so keep the tree away from driveways, sidewalks and patios.
Good to know. The milky sap can cause a skin rash in some people. Berries ripen in late spring and summer.
