Morus macroura, 'Pakistan' mulberry

Morus macroura 'Pakistan'

Variety description: The king of mulberries, known as the 'shahtoot.' Fruits measure on average about 3'' long with some reports of up to 4 1/2” long. Sweet and flavorful, a favorite of kids visiting the nursery. Very productive.

Site requirements: Full sun location. Like other fruit trees, mulberries will do well in fertile, well drained soil. Soil pH of 6.5 is ideal.

Hardiness: USDA zones 8-10. In USDA zones 7 and below, grow in a container and bring it into the garage for the winter, or grow in a greenhouse or hoop house. This cultivar will survive in ground in USDA zone 7a, but still experiences so much winter dieback that fruiting will be minimal to none.

Size at maturity: Training while young combined with semi-annual pruning, mulberries can be maintained at 15-20'.

Plant size: Grafted tree, grown in a 2 gallon container
