Dwarf Mulberry trees/bushes

10 years ago

** had posted this under fruit/orchards but thought may fit here better **

Hello everyone! It is mulberry season and I have been fortunate enough to have some great mulberries from friends. I'd love to plant one but my space is somewhat limited so I am looking at some dwarf options. From what I have gathered my options are between an everbearing morus nigra, dwarf issai morus alba or a girardi dwarf. And along with the 3 options it seems that different nurseries appear to produce different trees which makes it all the more challenging in choosing the right tree! So any experience with a dwarf mulberry? Can someone help me select the right tree!? I'm in Phoenix, zone 9B.

Pick the morus nigra. I had a couple fruits off the Dwarf Everbearing variety this year and they were very good!
