How to Plant & Grow Dwarf Shah Reza Mulberry Trees

Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day is essential for strong growth and optimal fruit production.
Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (pH 6.0-7.5).
Spacing 🌳: Space trees 3-5 feet apart to allow for healthy growth and good airflow around the plants.
Mature Size 🌳: The Dwarf Shah Reza Mulberry Tree reaches a mature height of 4-6 feet, making it perfect for small gardens or container planting.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Soil 🧑‍🌾: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Amend it with compost for better soil structure and fertility.
2️⃣ Dig a Hole 🕳️: Dig a hole that is at least twice the size of the root ball to provide enough space for root development.
3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, making sure the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
4️⃣ Backfill & Water 💧: Fill the hole with soil, pressing gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the roots.
5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the tree to help retain moisture and prevent weed competition.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

Watering 💧: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year. Once established, water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells.
Pruning ✂️: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to maintain the tree’s shape for better airflow and fruit production.
Fertilizing 🍃: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to promote healthy root growth. For mature trees, apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support fruiting.
Protection 🛡️: Use Max Growth Tree Shelters to protect young trees from pests, animals, and harsh weather 🌳🛡️.
