Product Details

We finally beat the birds to these large succulent sweet white mulberries. When Eaten Fresh they are Crisp, Soft, somewhat delicate and Softly Sweet. Excellent dehydrated when their flavors and sweetness concentrate into a chewy snack. Great in Trail Mixes.

This old tree has been growing beside its long time friend the purple mulberry for perhaps a century. In addition to being great to eat, it also provides food for wildlife at a time of year when August heat desiccates most green vegetation. The old French Estate in GrassValley where it was discovered can be traced back to the 1880s and has a small repository of old Walnuts and other plants. Grass Valley is rich in Gold Rush culture, beauty and fruit trees. The leaves have traditionally been used as high protein fodder for animals and used for silk worms - their favorite food. Felix Gillet tried to encourage the silk industry here in Nevada County in the 1800s, selling lots of mulberry trees, but it is a very laborious industry and did not take hold.

Potted 1 Gallon. at least 1' tall Please Note: We do not ship mulberries. They are available for pickup in North San Juan in January and February. Please order them from the website now, to reserve for pickup. We have limited supply of all mulberries and grapes.
