When Is the Best Time to Plant Mulberry Trees in Your State?
If youβve ever eaten a ripe Mulberry straight from the tree, you probably understand why people who grow them get so excited about these trees.
Mulberries are sweet, juicy and incredibly versatile. Eat them fresh, add them to pies and cobblers, make homemade jam or preservesβor just let the birds and wildlife enjoy some too.
And the trees themselves have a lot going for them.
Mulberry trees are fast growing, productive, adaptable and relatively low maintenance once established. They can provide both fruit and beautiful shade, making them a great addition to backyard orchards, edible landscapes and wildlife plantings.
But WHEN should you plant a Mulberry tree?
That depends on where you live:
π³ Northern States β Late April through May
π³ Northeast & Mid-Atlantic β Late March through April
π³ Southeast β December through February
π³ Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana & Florida β December through February
π³ Midwest β March through April
π³ Upper South & Appalachians β February through April
The easiest rule to remember is:
Plant Mulberry trees while theyβre dormant and before spring bud break.
Why?
Dormant-season planting gives the roots a chance to begin establishing before the tree has to support leaves, new shoots and fruit production.
In the Southeast and other warmer areas, winter planting gives a new tree valuable time to establish before summer heat arrives. In colder Northern states, waiting until the soil has thawed and become workable is generally the better approach.
For best results, plant Mulberry trees in full sun with well-draining soil and water consistently during their first growing season.
