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