When to plant mulberry in Katanning
- Plant seedlings: early Feb to mid NovKatanning area, Mediterranean
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Katanning. 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.
