Product Description
Morus, known as the mulberry tree, a deciduous tree that is native to Japan. This mulberry tree is often appreciated for the shade it provides and for its lobed and deep green foliage with a glossy upper side that is so shiny it looks like it has been sprayed! In April May Morus kagayamae bears both male and female flowers on the same branch but this variety is sterile and does not produce fruit. It is popular for planting in public areas because It avoids the problems associated with messy fruitfall. Morus can withstand mild frosts though leaves and other aerial parts are damaged as soon as temperatures drops to freezing. The mulberry tree is likely to die as soon as temperature drops below -12°C, despite the RHS rating it as a H5. Taking this into consideration, we personally rate this plant therefore at H4 and advise to shelter the plant as soon as a major cold snap is evident. It is generally pest free but take care of any potential diseases.
