Incredible how well those mulberries do there, mine fruit lightly in comparison although that's probably because mine are in pots rather than in ground 🤪
The Hicks mulberry would give you plenty of leaves for tea, including some for drying. I discovered mulberry leaf tea is absolutely delicious and apparently it has many health benefits. It has a really lovely mouth feel. I prefer it to my (very expensive) matcha tea!
Good to know! Thanks
You gave me a brilliant idea of how to deal with my aggressive white mulberry. I'm going to cut it down and use it to mulch my other fruit trees. I'm going to plant my White Shahtoot in its spot. What a precious spot wasted on that crazy white mulberry LOL I'm going to get myself a Red Shahttot next :)
Go for it!
Now I'm trying to find a dwarf red shahtoot. None in stock Daleys or Ross Creek 😢.
wow no pruning for 10 years? i wish i have a tree like that. unfortunately no one sells red shahtoot here in the Philippines.
It may be a stunted oddball, as I've seen another red shahtoot much larger than mine.
@@RealLifeFruitopia is the tree grafted? or it grew from a cutting?
Grafted
Which is the best? Pakistani Shangri-la or Shatoot? I can only grow one.

Wait, you've never pruned it ? Really ? That's crazy ! You may have found the perfect mulberry then... Maybe I should grow this variety too ! Compared to your other mulberries, how early does it start growing leaves ?
I've been growing a super dwarf japanese variety for three years now, I never pruned it but it's mostly because frost kills half the branches every spring (it wakes up too early and we lose the spring crop, unlike other local varieties, but these don't have a fall crop), but one of them is still taller than your tree... Well, it's supposed to max out at 3m tall and mine is 2m tall and has grown side branches rather than getting taller this year, so maybe it's going to start being like yours, who knows ?
I believe my tree might be a freak, even though it's meant to be a dwarf. I've seen other much taller red shahtoot trees online. Leaves come at approx the same time on all my mulberries, in August, which is late winter in Australia.
@@RealLifeFruitopia Maybe it's your soil ?
Ah I see... Where I live mine leafs out around mid-march (early spring) but many mulberries around town only leaf out in april, and we get regular frost until early april, so I thought there might be some difference for you too. Maybe it's just because we get below freezing temperatures regularly...
Mulberries aren't the only plant that suffers in this way in spring for me, I've had issues with other warm temperate and subtropical plants as well (mostly species from mountainous areas of northern India and South-East Asia, and my mulberries have been bred in Japan from trees originating in Thailand). I don't understand why they try to grow even though it's still freezing almost every other day...
You're red shahtoot mulberry is looking good! Do you prefer the taste over the white shahtoot mulberry and what is your favourite black mulberry variety you've tried?
White shahtoot is my favourite. I'm waiting on my first black Pakistan to ripen.
White is sweet like honey, someone need to make whiskeys from them
Red vs white shahtoot, what do you prefer or they're the same?
White shahtoot is literally the sweetest mulberry.
