<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span>1 White Mulberry Tree: 3 years - current height 60-90 cm</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span>Seedlings raised in Swedish climate</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Common name:</strong> White mulberry, White mulberry tree <strong data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1">Scientific name:</strong> <em data-mce-fragment="1">Morus alba<br data-mce-fragment="1"></em> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Family:</strong> Moraceae</p>
<h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Plant history & use:</strong></h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The Mulberry tree is one of the world's oldest cultivated plants - probably best known for hosting silkworms whose threads are used to produce silk fabric, since Mulberry leaves practically are the silkworm's only source of food. And the leaves from the White Mulberry variety are especially popular among the silkworms. The white mulberry originates from West Asia.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The berries on the White Mulberry tree can vary in color - from white to pink to red, to nearly black. The White Mulberries have a sweeter taste than their black-fruited relative <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" title="Black mulberry (Morus nigra)" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;"><strong>Morus nigra</strong></span></a> . The berries are rich in antioxidants and, like mulberry leaf tea, are thought to help balance blood sugar levels. Thanks to its unusually high nutritional content, mulberries are considered a so-called "superfood", like <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" title="Goji (Lycium barbarum)" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;">the goji berry</span></strong></a> .</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Dried white mulberries berries have a caramel-like taste.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">In addition, the berries contain the substance MFE, which stabilizes the blood sugar level and thus naturally calms the body's craving for sugar. Therefore, mulberries are a common snack-substitute for those who want to get rid of their sweet tooth.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">You can also make juice and jam from the berries.</p>
<h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Culture:</strong></h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The White Mulberry tree is somewhat hardier than its relative <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" title="Black mulberry (Morus nigra)" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Morus nigra</strong></span></a> and can withstand temperatures down to -30 <span data-mce-fragment="1">°</span> <span data-mce-fragment="1">C.</span> It can grow in most soils but thrives best in loose, nutrient-rich soils. Hardy in windy coastal climates but optimal growth is given in warm, wind-sheltered locations.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Suitable as a trellis tree as the branches are easily bendable.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Mulberry trees also suit well in forest orchards as they are a popular host plant for many organisms and provide recurring harvests without major maintenance and protect plants in lower layers.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Mulberries are self-fertile, which means that only one tree is needed to bear fruit.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Prune in winter when the tree/shrub is dormant to avoid excessive "bleeding" of the tree, which is otherwise a common characteristic of mulberry plants.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The berries ripen continuously from mid-summer to early autumn.<br></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong></strong>When it's time to harvest, a tip is to pick the berries with a needle to avoid crushing them between your fingers.</p>

Seeds from unusual and ancient cultivated plants are found here. Many of the plants have long been used by man for their useful properties - it may be about edibles as well as medicinal and household properties.
All seed varieties in the store contribute to a functional addition to the cultivation. Our seeds consist of open-pollinated and hand-pollinated heirloom varieties, we believe that a genetic diversity in the garden contributes to a healthier ecosystem that extends beyond the borders of our cultivations.
Plants are divided based on their different functions and characteristics - e.g. "Fruits & Berries" and "Medicinal plants" - via the filtering function on the right (below on mobile).
Plant history and cultivation description are available for all seeds.
NOTE. More unusual varieties are on the way!
Here you will find both super beautiful shoe models that are created specifically for gardening time and also other models that are well suited for different occasions in the garden. After our own search for good gardening shoes, we found the brand Rouchette, where we especially came to love their ankle boots insulated with neoprene. for the warmth and comfort they provide.
They have also designed a practical sole where no soil gets stuck and is taken into the home - the Frotte&Go system, exclusively developed and used by Rouchette. Rouchette is a family business from France for which we have become a dealer for good reason.
Without exaggeration, these are the most comfortable and practical boots we have ever had. That's where the idea came from to share their usefulness with other growers. The ankle boots are also great for the stable.
You can use the filter function below on the left to easily find the shoes you are looking for.
Here you will find books related to sustainable farming, food forest gardening, agroecology and other interesting knowledge about plants and their useful properties.
Take a look at PFAF's (Plants For A Future) book series - we have recently included all of their books in our range as we consider them to be a valuable source of useful plants for temperate gardens/cultivations.
