Our Variety Assessment

Its strengths, growing requirements and the conditions in which it performs best.

Kagayame White is first and foremost an excellent shade tree. Its large glossy leaves quickly form a broad, dense crown, more graceful than an ordinary avenue tree, with the added benefit of edible mulberries. We would reserve it for a garden able to accommodate its spreading habit. Ripe fruit drops readily, so it is best kept away from terraces, paving and parked vehicles.

Description

Kagayamae White is a fast-growing mulberry with a spreading habit. The small red mulberries drop to the ground when ripe.

Non-fruiting forms of this species of mulberry are often used for street planting and car parks in southern France, because it grows quickly and the dense large leaves offer plenty of shade from the sun. Kagayamae White is a fruiting form – but still useful as a shade tree.

Kagayamae White does best in warmer climates as it is only moderately cold-hardy (to USDA zone 8).
