General Growth Habits:

Shrub reaches up to 2m, suitable for container growing but avoid letting it become rootbound - becomes unhappy fast! Pruning should be done while the tree is still growing to form the frame of branches for next year's blossoms. Generally few to no issues with disease and pests. Does tend to die back a bit in winter from terminal shoots. Harvest late June to early August, dwarf mulberries will cycle in and out of fruiting for 10-12 weeks in the right climate, but bear best in zone 6-7.

Primocane or Floricane (if applicable):
