Morus acidosa ‘Mulle’ is a hardy and compact mulberry variety, prized for its sweet and tangy black fruits that ripen in summer. Unlike traditional mulberry trees, ‘Mulle’ is more manageable in size, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens and container growing. The berries are rich in flavour and highly nutritious, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. They can be eaten fresh, dried, or used in jams, desserts, and baking.
Thriving in well-drained, fertile soil, this variety prefers a sunny position to produce the best fruit. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering, especially during prolonged dry spells. Mulching helps to retain moisture and keep the roots cool. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage healthy growth.
‘Mulle’ is a self-fertile variety, meaning it does not require another tree for pollination. Its attractive foliage and compact habit make it not only a productive fruiting tree but also a beautiful ornamental addition to any garden. Easy to grow and low-maintenance, this Swedish-bred mulberry is an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy homegrown berries with minimal effort.
