Description
Red Mulberry is a hardy native tree that thrives in Massachusetts, offering lush foliage and an abundance of edible fruit. Its dense branches and broad crown make it an excellent windbreak or shade tree, providing year-round interest. The deep green, serrated leaves turn brilliant yellow in fall, adding a splash of seasonal color to the landscape.
From mid-summer to early fall, Red Mulberry produces clusters of red berries that ripen to a deep purple, attracting birds and other wildlife. The sweet-tart fruit is perfect for fresh eating, preserves, wine-making, and more. While its fruit can be messy if left to drop, this ornamental tree’s beauty and functionality make it a valuable addition to any yard.
