Dwarf Black Mulberry ‘Majestic’

‘Majestic’ is a compact dwarf variety of black mulberry that bears full-size fruit on a plant suited to small spaces and even container gardening. A small deciduous tree with delicious, fruits that ripen during the spring, Majestic is also a subtropical cultivar needing minimal winter chilling to crop and perform in the garden and landscape. Prune lightly in winter to maintain a compact habit and to stimulate fresh growth and improved spring fruiting. Mulberries, in general, are robust and adaptable trees growing well in most soils and conditions, from poorly drained soils to dry areas once established. This dwarf compact version, of what is generally considered a large sprawling deciduous tree, boasts an attractive form and is well-suited to container gardening and suburban backyards.
