When to plant mulberry in Palmer
- Plant seedlings: mid Jan to early DecPalmer area, cool Mediterranean
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Palmer. 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.
