Companion Planting & Garden Value: Mulberry

Morus rubra

Spacing: needs about 16 square feet per plant. Mature height: 10-20 ft.

Pollination

Not self-fertile: a single plant won't reliably set fruit. Can be monoecious (perfect flowers, self-fertile) or dioecious (separate male and female trees) depending on the specific tree; a dioecious tree needs both sexes nearby to fruit at all, so confirm which type before assuming a single tree will crop.
