Mulberry Trees
Sweet, fast-growing fruit trees for shade and fresh harvests
Mulberry trees are vigorous, adaptable fruit trees valued for their sweet berries, fast growth, and generous shade. They thrive in a wide range of climates and soil types, making them a reliable choice for home orchards, edible landscapes, and multifunctional gardens.
These trees are especially popular with growers who want quick establishment and high productivity with relatively low maintenance. Mulberries are also known for their tolerance to heat, drought once established, and urban growing conditions common throughout California.
Fruit color and flavor vary by variety, ranging from deep purple-black to red or white, with harvests that attract both gardeners and wildlife. With proper placement, mulberry trees can serve as productive fruit producers while also acting as shade trees for larger garden spaces.
