There are several kinds of mulberry trees in Pakistan. The sweetest are the ones with long white and red/black mulberry fruit. I believe all mulberry tree leaves are good for silk worms. Goats love their leaves too. Branches of mulberry trees are very strong and flexible. They are great for basket weaving which can be very useful for carrying fruit. The branches don’t break when they are bent. I am a Pakistani American and have a few mulberry trees back home myself. It is good to see Pakistan mulberry tree becoming popular in the U.S. It is a very fast growing tree which has great fruit which can be used to make jam/fruit preserve. 😊
Love your content. I’m in Las Vegas, so all the gardening channels from non-desert areas are pretty much worthless. Your stuff works here! I just shared your channel on a couple of my fb groups. Hope you get some subs!
Hey Rose! Thanks and glad to hear it's working in LV. I (Duane) used to travel there for work every month and remember how cold it was in the winter. Thanks for sharing the content with your FB groups. Would love for everyone to have at least 1 fruit tree they can harvest from!
I am wondering if that is the same variety as my white mulberry - which is the silkworm mulberry (silk worms eat the/a white variety). Yeah, the flavour I would describe as "meh". I think I will grow mine like yours, mostly as a shade giving nursery tree. They are really easy to strike cuttings from, though!
I'm wondering the same thing. Definitely not a Pakistan as it was labeled. I know the chickens really like the leaves and yes it does give a tremendous amount of shade. Still going to try and find a Pakistan variety as I hear the fruit is superior in taste. If so, you get all the benefits of a shade tree plus tasty fruit!
Speaking of abuse, one of my trees about a year old was struck by lightning and half of the tree was destroyed and burnt, but the dang tree kept going strong. Unfortunately I took it down completely.
Hey Garry. You're right. We had Sissoo trees on our last property and they get massive also. You can prune, but these are going to want to really take over in a small space.
We have just not had good success finding a true white Pak mulberry. We have folks from Pakistan insisting this is the right variety, but our black Pakistan mulberries are like 3 inches long!
We're in 9b, but closer to 9a with our low temps in the Winter (we hit 20 degrees on a few occasions). They are deciduous trees that need chill hours, but I can't speak to specific zone minimums.
Good questions! Yes, these would be good for silkworms. For livestock we pick the leaves from the branches and feed those directly to them. The branches would probably be ok for pigs, but even then the latex sap might be tough for them to digest.
That's not a white pakistan that's a mora's alba. white pakistan are long 3 inches skinny looks little green when ripe taste like honey leaves are also different I have a real pakistan if you want a cutting.
We've kept the name, because we have had folks from Pakistan reach out and say it is a Pakistani mulberry. I agree that it probably isn't, but with those comments we've decided to keep it as is and let folks determine for themselves.
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm I think their confused about the variety "Pakistan" and just a type of mulberry they used to eat in Pakistan. Most people in Pakistan eat the common wild type like the one in the video and don't know about the variety "Pakistan" Kinda like most Australians that would eat Mulberries wouldnt know what an austrilain green mulberry is
Hey James! We bought this tree from Shamus O'Leary years ago, but it turned out it wasn't actually a Pakistan. I'm not sure who sells them now, but there are several online nurseries that are really good!

Hi Shahid. Wow, what an amazing tree with so many beneficial uses. Thanks for sharing some additional ideas to utilize this great resource!
In India it's in backside of my home.. it quality of your tree..in Pakistan is very good..
Shadid, do you have a great tasting white mulberry here in the USA?

That's a beautiful tree and thank you for sharing. Best of luck with the air layering.
Thanks Daniel. Fingers crossed on that air layering....

Yikes, that's scary. Chances are a mulberry would survive that. They are tough trees!
Pakistan White King Mulberry fruit is normally 2" to 3.5" long and very sweet.
Hey Rishtun, you're right. It must have been labeled incorrectly from the nursery.
Are the birds less aggressive in attacking white vs purple mulberry?
Oh yes, definitely much less aggressive on this tree. The black Pakistan next to it has remnants of fruit everywhere and this still has fruit on it!
I was looking for a mulberry tree that does not stain but it is just too large for my yard. It will likely get large as a sissoo tree.
Hey Garry. You're right. We had Sissoo trees on our last property and they get massive also. You can prune, but these are going to want to really take over in a small space.
Have you had any luck finding the real deal ‘White Pakistan’ mulberry? If so is there a video tasting them out yet?
We have just not had good success finding a true white Pak mulberry. We have folks from Pakistan insisting this is the right variety, but our black Pakistan mulberries are like 3 inches long!
Hi , do you think it will survive north NJ zone 6-B?
I'm not sure, that's pretty cold for this variety. I imagine it would need some protection in Winter.
Morus alba, not macroura
I think you may be right on this one.
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm you are lucky though because you should be able to grow macroura in arizona
@@connorwestgate that's what we were hoping for!
What’s the coldest temperature in your zone? I’m done 7a and I’m rooting this variety. Wondering if I should go in ground or keep in pot

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm gotcha. Thanks 🙏

Great observation Timothy. We had a feeling this was not the real deal. Is the Pakistan you have a white fruiting Pakistan or black?
OMG ! I searched everywhere for it . I need the cuttings Please please please
@@r4rekha804 are you looking for a true White Pakistan?
Yes I would pay for some cuttings. Sdthyn@gmail.com
I would love to have cutting. plizzz
Where did you get the tree?
Hey Casey. This one was from Shamus O'Leary, but he doesn't normally do deciduous trees. He usually sells tropicals.
This looks like white persian, not white pakistani. White pakistani fruit is thin and 3 inches long just like the regular pakistani.
Hey Giorgio, it very well could be a white Persian as the fruit is not as long as our black pakistan mulberries.

Yes it is Pakistani mulberry
We were sure hoping that was the case!
