How to Grow Mulberry Trees

Though specific planting directions depend on the mulberry variety you choose, all Mulberry Trees must be grown in the proper growing zones (or indoors). The most important factors are proper sunlight and watering. Most Mulberry Trees prefer well-drained soil and full sun, or 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day.

From there, it's easy. Find an area with well-drained soil or select a container large enough to accommodate the tree’s root ball, place your tree, and backfill the soil. Finally, water the surrounding soil to settle your tree’s roots and mulch to conserve moisture.

When to Plant Mulberry Trees

Generally, you should plant your Mulberry Fruit Trees in early spring. However, you can plant in pots to stay on the porch or move indoors nearly any time of year.
