Black Mulberry – Morus nigra 150 Seeds | Hardy Edible Fruit Tree Long Lived | Sweet-Tart Berries | Shade & Wildlife Tree

Grow a classic heirloom fruit tree with this pack of 150 Black Mulberry seeds. Morus nigra is prized for producing some of the best-tasting mulberries—large, dark red to deep purple-black fruits with a rich, sweet-tart flavor.

This ornamental yet productive tree typically grows 20–30 feet tall with a broad, spreading canopy, making it an excellent shade tree for larger landscapes. Exceptionally long-lived, Black Mulberry trees can produce fruit for generations. They are highly adaptable and tolerate rocky soil, dry conditions, wind, salt, and even less-than-ideal sites once established.

Fruits ripen from July through September and can be eaten fresh or used in pies, jams, wine, desserts, and dried snacks. Birds are especially attracted to the fruit, making this a great addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. Also suitable for bonsai cultivation.
