When to plant mulberry in Gunderbooka
- Plant seedlings: mid Mar to mid SepGunderbooka area, hot semi-arid
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Gunderbooka. 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.
