For the first time, we are offering varieties of Mulberries, grafted right here at our nursery.
Mulberries are my all time favourite fruit tree. They are very appropriate for our climate, they dont need a huge amount of water, and are cold hardy. Unlike most other fruit trees most varieties of Mulberries produce over several weeks, so you can enjoy their blackberry like fruit all summer. They are all female and do not require a pollinator, so one tree is all that is needed. Ive said many times, if you only have room for one fruit tree, it should be a mulberry, if you have room for two, you should consider two mulberries.
Illinous Everbearing is the tried and true everbearing variety, it makes delicious purple fruit for over two months in the summer.
Italian is also everbearing, and although in our experience it has fruit for a slightly shorter season than Illinous Everbearing, the fruits are larger and more flavourful. It also seems to be a more vigourous tree at our nursery.
Kokuso is definitely in the very top of the pack for flavour of berries, which are sweet and complex. The tree is vigourous but it is not as strong of a fruit producer as others.
We also have paw paws grown from large fruited cultivar parents. These are quite slow to get started but have one of the best tasting fruits we can grow here in my opinion. Paw Paws trees are both male and female, and they require a pollination partner. Two of these seedlings will be able to pollinate each other, although more is always better. They are thicket forming in the wild, so can tolerate being closer to each other more than other fruit trees. They do not like any grass competition!
