General info about Mulberries:
Mulberry trees are among the world's oldest cultivated plants – probably best known for being the host of silkworms whose threads are made into silk fabric, as mulberry leaves are practically the only food source for silkworms. Especially the leaves of the white mulberry tree are favored by silkworms. The white mulberry originates from West Asia.
The berries of the white mulberry tree vary in color – from white, to pink, to red, to almost black. The white mulberries have a sweeter taste than their dark-fruited relative Morus nigra. The berries are rich in antioxidants and are believed, like tea made from mulberry leaves, to help balance blood sugar levels. Thanks to their unusually high nutritional content, mulberries are considered a so-called "superfood," similar to goji berry.
Dried berries have a creamy caramel-like flavor. Additionally, mulberries contain the substance MFE which stabilizes blood sugar levels and thereby reduces the body's craving for sweets. Therefore, mulberries are a common substitute for those who want to overcome sugar cravings.
You can also make juice and jam from the berries.
From the leaves, one can brew a healthy tea that has historically been drunk in China and has recently begun to regain popularity in Asia.
Cultivation:
The white mulberry tree is somewhat hardier than its relative Morus nigra and tolerates temperatures down to -30°C. It can grow in most soils but thrives best in loose, nutrient-rich soils. It is hardy in windy coastal climates but optimal growth is achieved in warm, sheltered locations.
Well suited as a trellis tree since the branches are easily bendable.
Mulberry trees also fit well in forest gardens as they are a popular host plant for many organisms and provide recurring harvests with little care while protecting plants in the lower layers.
Mulberries are self-fertile, meaning only one tree is needed to bear fruit.
Prune in winter when the tree is dormant to avoid excessive "bleeding," which is otherwise a common trait of mulberry plants.
The berries ripen continuously from mid-summer to early autumn.
A tip for harvest time is to pick the berries with a needle to avoid crushing them between your fingers.
