The mulberry story: The black mulbery has quite a history! It is derived from a tree that existed in Swan Walk in the 17th century, now known as the Chelsea Physic Garden, during the time of King James 1. During the 1939/45 war the last remaining tree was about to be grubbed to make way for an air shelter when cuttings were taken and this tree has survived ever since. About the tree: King James (Morus nigra 'King James;), also known as the Chelsea mulberry, has mulberries which are unusually large in size and succulent fruit cropping early in life. With an intensely rich flavour, it is a real favourite. Add sugar, microwave and pour over ice cream! The black mulberry also makes for an attractive ornamental tree. Type of Mulberry: Eating/Cooking Time of Picking: August Self-Fertile/Not Self-Fertile: King James is a self-fertile mulberry, so there is no need for another mulberry to aid pollination. Our mulberries are supplied at a height of between 1.25 and 1.50 metres in a 12 litre container for year round planting. We will include a message card included at no additional cost if required.
