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