  • Description

  • Notes

Another fruitless mulberry, this selection has cascading branches that reach to the ground. Height depends on grapht length of interstem, but usually around 6 to 12 feet tall; crown will spill out about 8 to 12 feet wide.
Grow in rich, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Prune in late fall or winter to avoid bleeding. Tolerates heat, drought, and a somewhat wide range of soils, including alkaline ones. Shallow rooted. Non-fruiting mulberry are more drought tolerant than fruiting forms.
