Growing Information

Plant your Red Mulberry in well-drained, fertile soil with moderate watering until established. It is hardy in USDA zones 4-8 and prefers full sun to partial shade. Dormant shipping means the trees arrive leafless but with buds ready to grow in spring. In southern climates, expect new growth soon after planting due to environmental conditions.

Plant Condition Disclosure

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.
