Description

An excellent protector tree. This productive variety is preferred by birds and squirrels over other fruits and berries, so it provides a great way to lure them away from your other harvests. Harvest extra-sweet, 1.5-inch or larger mulberries that ripen over an extended period (approximately 6 to 8 weeks) to provide broad summer fruit coverage. Tolerant of dry, poor soil. Cold-hardy. Matures to be 35' tall. Ripens in mid June through August. Self-pollinating. Morus alba x Morus rubra
