The black mulberry tree lives a long time but grows slowly, taking up to six years to produce fruit and producing its heaviest crop after a cold winter. However, as the tree matures, it produces dark red, almost black berries with a juicy, distinct, sweet flavor. During the summer, the mulberry fruit matures slowly and ripens in August. A great tree for a large garden! 12m (39′) tall. 15m (49′) spread Estimated time to cropping once planted: 4 years. Estimated time to best yields: 10 years
