Sowing instructions
Sowing Morus alba seeds requires a little patience, but with the right preparation, germination is easy:
- Stratification: The seeds need a cold period to promote germination. Place them in the refrigerator (between damp sand or a damp cloth) for about 4-6 weeks.
- Sowing: After the cold period, you can plant the seeds in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil in spring or fall.
- Choice of location: The white mulberry loves sunny to semi-shady spots with good drainage.
- Germination: Keep the soil evenly moist. The germination period is usually 2-8 weeks.
- Pricking: As soon as the seedlings have reached a sufficient size, you can plant them in individual pots or directly in the open ground.
Harvest, use & storage
The fruits of the white mulberry ripen between May and July, depending on the climate. They are juicy, sweet and ideal for fresh consumption, dried fruit, jams or teas.
- Harvest: Pick the ripe, white to slightly pink berries directly from the tree.
- Use: The fruits can be eaten fresh, made into juice or dried. The leaves are also used in traditional medicine and as tea.
- Storage: Fresh mulberries only keep for a few days. Dry them for longer storage or freeze them.
