Kagayamae White mulberry trees
Morus kagayamae - Picking season: Mid
- Self-fertility: Self-fertile
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).

More about Mulberry trees
Mulberries are sweet fruits which bruise easily and do not keep. For this reason they are rarely available in shops, and growing your own is a good option.
Most mulberries are relatively slow-growing fruit trees which eventually get quite large. They are easy to grow, and generally unaffected by diseases, and usually self-fertile.
Mulberries come out of dormancy very late in the spring, around the end of May, when most other trees are already in full leaf.
The fruit is borne throughout the canopy of the tree, out of reach from the ground. The usual method of picking is by shaking the branches when the fruit is ripe in July - August. However you may need to net the tree (or some of the branches) as the fruits are popular with birds.
Pruning is not usually necessary. However mulberries generally fruit on this season's growth, so hard-pruning is a good way to control size, or to aid in training the form of the tree.
Being naturally slow-growing most mulberries can be grown in large pots or planters for a decade or more, although trees grown this way may eventually need to be planted in open ground.
Our mulberry trees are either grafted on Morus alba rootstock, or raised directly from cuttings. In either case they will eventually become full-size standard trees.
