Comment |
Rounded form. Shelter from drying winds. Pruning Group 1, in late autumn or early winter, as trees "bleed" at other times. "Brought to Britain by the Romans and widely planted by James I, who wished to establish a silk industry – only to find that silkworms feed exclusively on the White Mulberry! A medium tree of great dignity and beauty, it has a gnarled, rugged trunk and most attractive, heart shaped leaves. The deep purple fruits, which look like large loganberries are tasty and have a variety of culinary uses. It has a domed, rounded habit, giving it a most architectural appeal. Very long-lived, but not as slow growing as is often supposed. Mature height: 5-10m" from Barcham Trees. Ken Muir grows soft-fruit and top-fruit plants for sale in the UK. How to grow it and available from Victoriana Nursery Gardens in the UK |
