Mulberry morus 'Mojo Berry', 4L
£27.00
notes
This compact mulberry is ideal for a container in a sunny spot on the terrace. It produces fruit (on both old and new wood) for months on end, without the need for a partner plant. It does not bear blossom like other orchard trees, instead catkins are formed in late spring. The fruit can be enjoyed fresh, in smoothies or to make jam and other preserves.
Dimensions
- Pot size: 4L
- Height & Spread: 150cm (4ft 11in) x 120cm (3ft 11in)
