There aren’t many berries to be grown in here south Florida. Sadly, most berries -
blueberries, blackberries, raspberries - don’t appreciate our heavy doses of humidity, but the Mulberry doesn’t mind one bit! This perennial, medium sized shrub, or tree, grows quickly in most soil types and is easily propagated from cuttings. Once you have one tree, it’s easy to have many. Planting this tree in full sun will help with fruit yield, but it will still do well in partial shade. They have also been planted as a food source for silk worms for over 5,000 years! Mulberries can be eaten fresh, used as fillings for tarts and pies, as a base for syrup or to make jams and jellies.
