Instructions d'entretien

White mulberry trees prefer full sun and moderate temperatures. They are relatively drought-tolerant once established but benefit from regular watering during dry periods. The tree thrives in temperate climates and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. It is important to provide adequate space for the tree to grow, as it can become quite large.

Récolte

Morus alba, commonly known as white mulberry, is typically harvested in late spring to early summer when the fruits are fully ripe and have turned a deep purple or black color. Harvesting is usually done by hand, either by picking the individual berries or by shaking the branches so that the ripe fruits fall onto a collection sheet placed on the ground. It is important to handle the berries gently to avoid bruising. The tree should be monitored regularly during the ripening period to ensure that the fruits are harvested at their peak ripeness for the best flavor and nutritional value.

Sol

White mulberry trees prefer well-draining loamy soil but can adapt to a variety of soil types, including sandy and clay soils. The soil should be kept moderately moist, especially during the tree's establishment period. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Engrais

A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is suitable for white mulberry trees. Fertilize in early spring before new growth begins and again in mid-summer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive vegetative growth at the expense of fruit production.

Rempotage

Young white mulberry trees can be repotted every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Repotting is best done in early spring before new growth starts. Carefully remove the tree from its current pot, trim any damaged roots, and place it in a larger pot with fresh, well-draining soil.

Propagation

White mulberry trees can be propagated through seeds, cuttings, or grafting. Seeds should be sown in the fall or stratified before planting in the spring. Cuttings can be taken in late summer and rooted in a moist, well-draining medium. Grafting is typically done in late winter or early spring.

Taille

Pruning is essential for maintaining the shape and health of white mulberry trees. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches to improve air circulation and light penetration. Regular pruning helps control the size and shape of the tree.

Toxicité

White mulberry trees are generally non-toxic to humans and pets. However, the unripe fruit and milky sap can cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort if ingested in large quantities. It is best to avoid consuming unripe fruit and to wash hands after handling the tree.

Supplémentaire

White mulberry trees are known for their rapid growth and adaptability. They can be used as shade trees, windbreaks, or for erosion control. The fruit is edible and can be used in jams, jellies, and desserts. The tree's leaves are also used in traditional medicine for their potential health benefits.
