Selected here at Whispering Trees, Black Lady has been selected for its close-jointed compact habit, fast-track fruiting, and outstandingly beautiful lobed foliage. When grown in a 24″ container, Black Lady has truly thieved and regularly reaches fruiting age in just 5 years. That’s significantly less than other Black Mulberries. It is precocious, heavy yielding and full of distinctive Mulberry flavour. The fruits are just great for simmering and serving with vanilla ice cream, they also make a jam packed with taste, can be made into pies and also freeze very well. The large, handsome and deeply lobed foliage turns deep ochre yellow in Autumn meaning that our Black Lady Mulberry is an ornamental delight too and will keep you more than satisfied until the first delectable fruits come along. Black Lady is a very distinct new variety of Black Mulberry that we highly recommend. Supplied at 90-120cm’s approx.
Sending a tree through the post isn’t easy, so our parcels are expertly packed to keep your goods in the best condition. There is no surcharge on the delivery of larger parcels/orders.
Tree size as supplied varies but is usually between 3.5′ – 4.5′ on despatch. A few varieties might be slightly smaller, some a little bigger, of course it does vary but this is a good average. WE SUPPLY YOUNG TREES – and are proud to do so. Although we are sometimes requested to supply older/bigger trees, the perceived advantages are outweighed by disadvantages! Older trees take longer to establish and will fruit no more quickly. The young trees we send out grow away and establish so quickly and healthily & often yield within 1 season of planting. Our customers even report fruits the first year of planting! All professional fruit growers prefer to plant young trees rather than older.
Our soft fruit bushes are usually 2 years old.
Everything is stringently graded, grown on the nursery and well packed!
