Bay Area–Based Nursery

We specialize in plants grown and delivered in their original pots and soil.
Because of their size and weight, our plants are not suitable for long-distance shipping and are delivered locally to ensure health and quality.

While delivery is limited to our local service area, we’re happy to support garden design and plant selection remotely.

For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

The Persian White Mulberry offers a unique and elegant twist on the classic mulberry. Its clusters of small, ivory-white berries provide a sweet, honeyed flavor with a delicate perfume. This beautiful, fast-growing tree is not only productive but also adds a touch of luminous beauty to the Bay Area garden, especially when laden with its pale, jewel-like fruit.

Produces charming clusters of small, white to pale pink berries that stand out dramatically against the green foliage.
Flavor is sweet, mild, and distinctly honey-like with a subtle, floral aroma that sets it apart from darker-fruited varieties.
A self-fertile, fast-growing, and drought-tolerant deciduous tree that is incredibly well-suited to California‘s Mediterranean climate.
The light-colored berries are less attractive to birds than dark mulberries, sometimes allowing for a more relaxed harvest.
An excellent source of nutrients and antioxidants, offering a unique and delicious healthy snack.
Can be pruned to any size, making it suitable for both large yards and smaller spaces where its graceful form can be showcased.

Flavor Profile:

Flavor: Delicate sweetness with notes of honey and a light, floral fragrance.
Texture: Juicy and soft, similar to other mulberries but with a slightly finer texture.
Best Uses: A unique fresh treat, elegant for garnishing desserts, making light-colored jams or syrups, and adding to fruit salads for visual contrast.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: Do white mulberries stain?A: No, the primary advantage of white mulberries is that their juice does not produce the strong stains associated with dark purple or red varieties. They are a much cleaner option for patios or walkways.
Q: Are they as sweet as the dark ones?A: They are very sweet, but the flavor profile is different—more honeyed and floral, less like intense berry jam. Many find them equally delicious in their own right.
Q: Is it a good shade tree?A: Yes, it grows quickly into a broad, spreading canopy that provides excellent dappled shade in summer.
