Establish a large-scale planting with this pack of 1800 Black Mulberry seeds. Morus nigra is prized for its exceptionally flavorful fruit—large, dark red to deep purple-black mulberries with a rich, sweet-tart taste. It is widely regarded as the best tasting of all mulberry species.

This deciduous tree typically grows 20–30 feet tall with a broad, spreading canopy that provides generous shade. Extremely long-lived, Black Mulberry trees can bear fruit for generations. They thrive in full sun and tolerate a wide range of soil conditions including rocky, dry, alkaline, and exposed sites once established. Wind, salt, and moderate drought tolerance make this a dependable and resilient choice.

Fruit ripens from July through September and can be eaten fresh or used in pies, jams, tarts, wine, syrups, and dried snacks. The tree also attracts birds and wildlife, making it ideal for orchards, naturalized areas, and larger landscapes. Suitable for bonsai as well.
