When to plant mulberry in Cavendish
- Plant seedlings: all yearCavendish area, temperate oceanic
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Cavendish. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
A hardy, long-lived tree that crops heavily in late spring and early summer, even in tough Adelaide conditions. Black mulberry fruit is rich and juicy but stains everything, so plant away from paths and washing lines. Net or share with the birds.
