When to plant mulberry in Mueller Ranges
- Plant seedlings: late May to early JulMueller Ranges area, hot semi-arid
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Mueller Ranges. 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.
