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.
Trouble Choosing
Cannot decide which fruit tree? Take a look at our TOP SELLING FRUIT TREES
Wet Ground
If you have wet conditions then choose a PEAR TREE first, followed by APPLE TREES. They don't prefer it but will tolerate water, H2O or liquid better, depending which one you have most of!
General Fruit Tree Life Expectancy
Most fruit trees will give you AT LEAST 40 years of fruit. Pears can go to 70. Records of 200 year old trees exist but this is the exception, not the rule.
