How to Plant & Grow Black Beauty Mulberry Trees

Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.5). Enrich the soil with compost to improve fertility and drainage.

Mature Size 🌳: The Black Beauty Mulberry Tree typically reaches a height of 12-20 feet, making it perfect for medium to large gardens or orchards.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Soil 🧑‍🌾: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Amend the soil with organic matter or compost to improve fertility.
2️⃣ Dig a Hole 🕳️: Dig a hole at least twice the size of the root ball to ensure ample space for the roots to expand.
3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface.
4️⃣ Backfill & Water 💧: Fill the hole with soil, pressing gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to help settle the roots.
5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the tree’s base to retain moisture and prevent weed growth.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

Watering 💧: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year to promote strong root growth. Once established, water deeply once a week during dry spells.
Pruning ✂️: Prune the tree annually to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape it for better airflow and fruit production.
Fertilizing 🍃: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to encourage strong root growth and healthy fruiting. For mature trees, apply a balanced fertilizer annually in early spring.
