The plants bore fruit in June and are now setting berries for a second round (written 24/9-24)
Common names: Mulberry, White Mulberry
Scientific name: Morus alba

Plant history & use:
'Full Seasons' is a variety that produces abundant large, almost swollen, juicy fruits. The berries are harvested when they turn black.
Somewhat shorter than wild types: grows to about 4-5 meters. Same good hardiness.
General info about mulberries:
Mulberry trees are among our oldest cultivated plants. The black mulberry tree, like the white variety, Morus alba, originates from West Asia – however, the black mulberry tree came to Europe a few hundred years before the white one. The earliest known finds of the black mulberry tree date back to around 300 BC. It is possible that Morus nigra originates somewhat further southwest (closer to Europe) in West Asia than its relative Morus alba, which may explain why Morus nigra has slightly less hardiness in cold climates than its relative.
Traditionally, the black mulberry was used to make wine and cosmetics – thanks to its high concentration of anthocyanins which give the berry its deep dark color. But the berries were also grown for fresh consumption.
Unlike the white mulberry tree’s fruits, which can vary in color, the black mulberry tree’s fruits are always black when ripe. The black mulberry is also more tart.
The berries are rich in antioxidants and are believed, like tea made from mulberry leaves, to help balance blood sugar levels. This is thanks to the content of 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 sweet cravings.
Due to the berries’ unusually high nutritional content, mulberries, like goji berry, are considered a so-called "superfood".
Besides mulberry wine, one can also make juice and jam from the berries.
From the leaves, one can brew healthy tea which has historically been drunk in China and has recently started to become popular again in Asia.
Cultivation:
Mojo Berry® is hardy down to -10°C = outdoor cultivation zones 1-2. If the tree is winter-covered with sheep’s wool or similar, it can survive outdoors up to zone 5. Alternatively, grow in a pot and place in a greenhouse/storage over winter.
The tree can grow in most soils but thrives best in loose, nutrient-rich soils. Tolerant of windy coastal climates but optimal growth is given in warm, sheltered locations.
Suitable as a trellis tree as the branches are easily bendable.
Mulberry trees also suit forest gardens well as they are a popular host plant among many organisms and provide recurring harvests without much 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 May to September.
The berries are harvested when the color changes from red to coal black. A tip is to pick the berries with a needle to avoid crushing them between the fingers.
Characteristics:
Longevity: Perennial
