A mulberry is forever so take great care where you plant it. It needs lots of room around it as it is of spreading habit.
The fruit is wonderful, and fragile, but Boy! does the juice stain!
Slow growing and doesn't mind a bit of shade. My King James' seems happy planted in a lawn. Lovely rich fruits when fully ripe and the leaves turn a fantastic golden in the Autumn. Because the fruit is carried tight under the leaves, they don't seem to suffer as much from bird attention as ,say, cherries. You get a fair chance of harvesting most. Would like to try a white mulberry.
