Description

About the Pakistan Mulberry Tree

The Pakistan mulberry is a deciduous tree known for producing very long mulberries (3 to 4 inches) that are dark ruby red-purple with a sweet raspberry/blackberry like flavor. Some people compare the taste to that of Boysenberries. As a bonus, the fruit juice does not stain! Pakistan mulberries are less juicy than some other varieties, making them easier to use in baking.

This variety was developed in Islamabad, Pakistan, where it is popular throughout the Middle East and Central Asia. Since their introduction to the United States, these mulberries have gained in popularity due to their sweet flavor and low acidity, making them good for eating fresh or making cobblers.

Mulberries are a type of multiple fruit, a term indicating that the mulberry is formed from many flowers forming one fruit, like a pineapple. The mature fruit is known as a syncarp. The Pakistan mulberry has a long fruiting season, typically producing syncarps from late spring through mid-summer.

Using the Fruit

Enjoy these delightful fruits fresh from the tree! Mulberries typically are fragile, making them rare to find in a grocery store. Put into the refrigerator, freeze, or process as soon as possible after picking them when ripe.

Use these tasty Pakistan mulberries to make yummy jams and jellies. A favorite use for them is to bake them into delicious pies! These mulberries can be substituted in most recipes that call for raspberries or blackberries. Try them as a flavoring for ice cream or cocktails or as topping for yogurt or sour cream. Add them to sauces for savory dishes, such as roast pork or beef.

Mulberry fruit contains fiber and is high in iron and vitamin C. It also contains potassium and vitamins E and K. Due to its dark red coloring, Pakistan mulberries contain the antioxidant anthocyanin.

Growing Pakistan Mulberries

This tree is self-fertile, meaning you do not need to plant another tree nearby to fertilize it. This tree is easy to grow and low maintenance, making it perfect for gardeners seeking a hassle-free option. It is very tolerant of heat, humidity, sun, droughts, and poor soil. It is pest and disease resistant.

These are fast-growing fruit trees and should begin to produce a crop in two to three years.

Plant in full sun in loamy, sandy, well-drained soil. See below for USDA zone compatibility and other plant characteristics.

No fruit?! Trust me, just wait, you won't be disappointed!
Looking at neighbor's mulberry trees which fruited the first or second year I started thinking our Pakistan Mulberry tree we bought and planted in 2019 was a "fruitless" variety or I got taken or something!
Please remember these aren't granted or have been in pots already for 3-4yrs. These are fresh, healthy, young plants so they will take a few years to fruit like most non-grafted, non-hybrid trees.
I told myself I'd give it just one more season and then I'll cut down this monster of a tree. I'm so happy I did because this tree is now COVERED with beautiful fruit. So much were now selling them at the farmers market! This variety is truly the best tasting if allowed to ripen to a dark purple, almost black berry. We have customers who tell us they grew up with mulberry trees or have one now, but they have never tasted ones like ours! They are so sweet and again, when fully ripened they taste like a cross between a blackberry and a blueberry but w/o any tartness. We sell out every week and charge top dollar bc they are hand picked and there's zero sold at grocery stores.
So hang in there! Keep pruning and caring for your tree. It'll pay off like you wouldn't believe!

10+ feet tall in 1 year
I bought this tree 9/2019 and it is growing like a weed. I've planted about 50 trees over my life and this tree looks like it is 3 years old already.
I am amazed at how healthy this tree is. I'll post again when it fruits.

Growing great...!
I bought this July 2019 and it arrived when expected. Sure, I was worried. It was only about 2.5ft tall in it's little box and only had 3 small leaves on it. I didn't plant it right away because I really didn't know what I was doing. I went to Lowes and bought some landscaping timbers then built an octagon shaped plant bed and tilled the lousy soil I have with 3 bags of potting soil. Two days had passed and by the time I put the tree in the ground. It had lost all three leaves and I was just putting a stick in the ground and hoped.

About a week later, I noticed 4 or 5 buds starting. Whew, I hadn't killed it. Over the next 5 months here in Georgia it grew and grew. By the time it went dormant in January, it had 4 branches and was about 6 ft tall. It barely went to sleep before the weather here changed and it started growing again. April now and this thing is about 8 ft tall and spreads out about 8 ft as well. Trunk is about 2" in diameter. Crazy fast growing tree. Can't wait for it to start bearing fruit.

Just what I wanted
Very fast growing and hardy. I live in Arizona and barely watered all Summer. My 3ft talk sticks still tripled in size and showed very little sign of heat stress.i love them!

Great protector tree
When I recieved the tree I was disappointed. It was 3' with a single leaf. But the people at Stark Bros. know what they're doing. I planted it and it didn't take long for it to start budding out and it looks great! It has very large leaves and I was surprised that wasn't in the description because to me they are a great selling point for this tree. I planted it by my berry patch to keep the away from my berries along with an Illinois Everbearing Mulberry from Stark. Highly recommend!
