When to plant mulberry in Oaklands
- Plant seedlings: mid Feb to early NovOaklands area, humid subtropical
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Oaklands. 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.
