Description

Morus nigra is a deciduous fruit tree admired for its delicious, dark purple-black mulberries and broad, attractive foliage. Well suited to Malta’s Mediterranean climate, it provides generous shade and sweet, juicy fruit.

💧 Watering

Water regularly while establishing. Mature trees tolerate dry conditions but benefit from deep watering during Malta’s hot summers, especially when fruiting.

☀️ Light

Thrives in full sun, ideally receiving at least 6 hours daily. Choose a spacious location with good airflow.

🍃 Foliage / Growth

Produces large, heart-shaped green leaves and sweet, dark mulberries in summer. Loses its leaves in winter and develops a broad, spreading canopy.

🪴 Potting Mix

Prefers fertile, well-draining soil but tolerates various soil types, including Malta’s limestone-rich soils.

🌿 Fertilizer

Apply a balanced fruit tree fertilizer in early spring if needed. Established trees generally require minimal feeding.

🐕🐈 Pet Safety

Ripe mulberries are generally non-toxic to cats and dogs. However, unripe fruit and the plant’s milky sap may cause digestive irritation. Avoid allowing pets to eat large quantities of fallen fruit.

🌬️ Air Purifying

As an outdoor tree, Black Mulberry helps capture airborne particles, provides shade and supports garden biodiversity.
