The best mulberry variety

Mulberry (mulberry tree) is an evergreen, tall plant that grows in regions with warm climates. The leaves of this tree serve as food for silkworms that produce natural silk threads. The fruits are famous for their valuable medicinal properties. In the East, the mulberry tree is called the tsar-tree, and the old people are fed mulberry trees in order to prolong their life.

Mulberry fruits contain organic acids, fructose, carotene, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, vitamins C, K, PP, group B. Antioxidants, which are part of the composition, prevent aging of the body, improve the condition of the skin and hair. Mulberries are used in folk medicine to treat bronchitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, hypertension, tonsillitis and other diseases.

Video tips for growing mulberry

Mulberry, or mulberry (lat. Morus) is a tall tree with sweet berries that look like blackberries, black, white or pink in color. For a long time, this plant was considered an exclusively southern crop, but thanks to the efforts of gardeners and breeders, its distribution area has expanded significantly. Is it possible to succeed in growing mulberry trees in central Russia and what varieties are better to choose for planting?

Can mulberries be grown in central Russia?

Mulberry is a thermophilic plant. In nature, it grows in regions with a subtropical climate, where it is widely used for breeding silkworms, from the cocoons of which natural silk is produced.

In our country, mulberries are most often planted for the sake of obtaining tasty fruits. Two types of this plant are especially popular:

• black mulberry (Mórus nígra),
• white mulberry (Mórus álba).

Experienced gardeners for growing in central Russia recommend white mulberry. Unlike black, which often dies at temperatures below -15 ° C, it can withstand frosts down to -30 ° C without significant damage to the crown and root system.

White mulberry winters well in central Russia

It is quite easy to determine the type of mulberry tree. The main distinguishing features of the white mulberry are the light gray color of the bark and the medium-sized ovate-pointed or dissected-lobed leaves. At the same time, the color of berries of different varieties can be either white or pink, or almost black.

But even a fairly winter-hardy white mulberry does not feel very comfortable in cold climates. So, in the southern regions of our country, the height of an adult tree is usually about 15 meters, and in the middle lane it rarely grows more than 4 meters and has the shape of a bush.

Features of agricultural technology

In the south, mulberry is one of the most unpretentious fruit crops. But gardeners in the middle lane will have to make a lot of effort to get a good harvest. Especially a lot of attention is required for young plants with an insufficiently developed root system.

Mulberry planting

Mulberry seedlings are usually planted in spring or autumn. In the conditions of central Russia, spring planting is considered optimal, which is carried out before the start of active sap flow. Over the summer, the plant manages to build up the root system and adapt to open ground conditions, which allows it to survive the winter without much loss.

When choosing a place for a mulberry tree, the following conditions must be observed:

• good illumination;
• protection from strong winds;
• the distance from the planted plant to the nearest trees or buildings should not be less than 3 meters;
• light loamy, sandy loam or sandy soil.

When planting mulberries, choose sunny and wind-protected places on the site.

For planting mulberries, it is necessary to prepare a hole in advance with a depth of at least 70 cm and the same diameter. At its bottom, it is advisable to lay drainage from expanded clay or other small pebbles. This is especially true when planting in heavy clay soil, which can provoke root rot due to stagnant moisture. The pit is filled with humus or rotted compost by about a third. If desired, you can additionally add about 50 g of any complex fertilizer mixed with the soil.

During planting, a young plant is placed in a hole, carefully spreading the roots over its entire area, and carefully sprinkled with earth. After that, 20-30 liters of water are poured into the trunk circle and mulched thoroughly in order to avoid severe drying out of the soil.

Video: the subtleties of transplanting a mulberry tree

Most mulberry varieties belong to dioecious plants, therefore, for successful fruiting on the site, you need to have at least two trees - a male and a female. You can determine the sex of a plant by its flowers:

• in female specimens, they are collected in dense inflorescences-earrings, spike-shaped;
• in males - inflorescences are looser and have a drooping stem.

It is possible to distinguish a male specimen of a mulberry from a female one only after the beginning of flowering.

Care

Mulberry is a drought-resistant plant that does not tolerate excess moisture. Usually, only young plants need additional watering. In especially dry and hot summers, you can also water an adult tree. It should be remembered that 15-20 liters of water per week is enough for mulberries.

The nutrients contained in the fertile soil with which the planting pit was filled is enough for two to three years. After the expiration of this period, to obtain a good harvest, mulberries begin to be fed. Fertilization is carried out in two stages:

1. Before blooming leaves, about 50 grams of complex mineral fertilizer (Nitroamofosk, Azotofosk and others) are scattered over the surface of the trunk circle.
2. During the ripening period, mulberries are fed with organic matter, for example, diluted infusion of poultry droppings (1:18) or fresh cattle manure (1: 8).

When feeding, it must be remembered that mulberries growing in too fertile soil often gain a large green mass and refuse to bear fruit. Excess nitrogen is especially harmful for this plant.

One of the most important mulberry care procedures is preparing the tree for winter. It begins long before frost. Already in the second half of summer, the plant is no longer watered. This is necessary so that the green shoots have time to ripen before the onset of cold weather.

In September-October, the trunk circle of mulberry is well loosened and covered with a layer of mulch. Its thickness should be at least 15 cm at the edges and 30 cm at the trunk of the tree. It is better to completely cover young trees with a non-woven material or a fabric that allows air to pass through.

Mulch protects the mulberry root system from severe frosts

Crown formation

In central Russia, mulberries are usually grown in the form of a bush less than 3 meters high. For the formation of a crown of this type in a plant that has reached three to four years, most of the shoots are cut out, leaving only 8–10 of the most developed ones. Then every year 2-3 branches are pruned to the point of growth and replaced with younger ones. As a result, 3-4 branches of the second order and about 10 branches of the third order are formed on each skeletal shoot. After a few years of such pruning, the gardener gets an excellent mulberry bush, the shape of the crown of which makes it possible to harvest the entire crop without much difficulty.

After the crown is formed, sanitary pruning is performed, which relieves the mulberry from twisted, dry or damaged shoots. Usually it is carried out in the spring, before the start of sap flow, or in the fall - immediately after the leaves are shed.

In addition, once every 10-15 years, mulberries need anti-aging pruning. During it, all shoots are reduced by a third, and several skeletal branches are completely removed, replacing them with younger ones.

In order to avoid infection of the mulberry with viral and bacterial diseases, all the tools with which pruning is carried out must be disinfected in advance.

The best varieties

Currently, breeders have bred many varieties of mulberry that easily tolerate the rather harsh climate of the middle zone of our country. Many of them are not inferior to their southern relatives either in taste or in yield.

Admiral's

Admiralskaya is the only black mulberry variety recommended by the State Commission of the Russian Federation for Testing and Protection of Breeding Achievements for growing in the middle lane. Received from the Timiryazev Moscow Agricultural Academy. It is a tall, spreading plant with black berries that have a sweet taste and a refreshing aroma.

The berries of the Admiralskaya mulberry weigh about 1.5 grams

Admiralskaya differs from other varieties of black mulberry in its high winter hardiness. In addition, it tolerates drought and extreme heat well, and is also practically unaffected by diseases and pests. The average yield of an adult plant in conditions of central Russia is about 5 kg.

Dark girl

Dark-brown, like most other varieties grown in central Russia, belongs to the botanical type of white mulberry. Due to its excellent winter hardiness and the ability to quickly restore frost-damaged shoots, it is very popular among gardeners in central Russia.

Mulberry Smuglyanka bears excellent fruit in the conditions of central Russia

The berries of the Darkie are black in color, have an excellent sweet and sour taste. This variety has a fairly high yield. Up to 500 g of fruits are harvested from one branch of an adult tree.

In central Russia, the fruits of the Smuglyanka begin to ripen in the second half of June.Despite their juiciness, they are excellent for transportation and can be stored for up to 18 hours from collection.

An important advantage of the variety is its monoeciousness. Thanks to this quality, even a single growing tree will produce a bountiful harvest.

Royal

Royal is one of the most productive mulberry varieties. From a tree over 7 years old, about 10 kg of greenish-white berries can be harvested. They have an excellent sweet taste and a well-defined aroma.

The mulberry variety Korolevskaya tolerates frosts well down to -30 ° C. It is also highly resistant to adverse conditions such as extreme heat, lack of moisture and poor soil composition.

White honey

A mulberry variety with white berries of a pleasant sweet taste without a pronounced aroma. They reach 3 cm in length and 1 cm in diameter. In the middle lane, the fruiting period of the mulberry variety Belaya Medovaya usually falls at the end of June or the beginning of July.

Berries of the White Honey variety are much larger than the fruits of most other mulberry varieties

Among the disadvantages of this variety, gardeners note the very thin skin of the fruit, which makes it impossible to transport them. The collected berries must be processed within 5-6 hours.

During breeding trials, the Belaya Medovaya variety demonstrated high winter hardiness. He easily tolerated frosts down to -30 ° C, even without additional shelter.

Staromoskovskaya

Staromoskovskaya is one of the few mulberry varieties that have male and female flowers on the same plant. Among its other advantages:

• excellent sweet and sour taste and pleasant refreshing aroma of fruits,
• good yield,
• high winter hardiness,
• undemanding to the composition of the soil.

The fruits of the mulberry variety Staromoskovskaya are colored black

Reviews: gardeners of the middle lane about mulberry

I live in Moscow. My mulberry is about 50 years old, bears fruit abundantly every year, by the way, about frosts, 40 degrees she easily tolerates.

I have been growing mulberry for 5 years. I brought it from the south. There she grew from a seed. At the time of landing, it was 50 cm. Now it is 2.5 m. Does not bear fruit. The upper branches used to be heavily frozen over. Less now. I look forward to harvesting every year. Dacha in the northwest near Volokolamsk.

I also have a white mulberry bush, I took it 4 years ago from Funtikov. Now it is about 1.7 meters high. Only the tips of the branches, 12-15 centimeters, are frozen this year. Below are living buds, and tiny ovaries are already visible on them. Last year I tried the first berries. The color is white, sugary sweet, small.

In the spring of 2015, I planted 2 mulberries side by side - "Darkie" and "Black Baroness". They took root well and grew a lot in a year, but froze out in winter - "Baroness" completely, and "Darkie" almost to the ground. In the next 2016, from the remaining hemp, 5–6 shoots, one and a half meter long, grew. In winter, they froze to about half. Since I don't like it when my trees grow like a broom, I left the most powerful shoot, and cut out the rest. And this remaining shoot had to be shortened to a height of 80–90 cm, because the rest is frozen. This year, 5-6 new shoots over one and a half meters long have grown from this small stem. The topmost and most powerful has grown already 2m in length. Moreover, it also branches. Those. on the shoot of this year, there are already branches of side branches, some up to a meter long. Branches not only the central, but also the rest of the shoots of this year.

Every year mulberry is becoming an increasingly popular crop in central Russia. Of course, in the conditions of this region, it requires much more care than in the south. But all the efforts of gardeners will be more than rewarded with an abundant harvest of delicious and very healthy berries.

Since childhood, I have been fond of growing various plants and have achieved considerable success in this matter. I would be very happy to share my experience.

Various fruit trees grow in the garden. These are apple, pear, cherry, plum and sweet cherry. However, the mulberry tree is quite rare in it. But in the recent past, it was very popular and affordable. The older generation of gardeners has a lot to say about the beneficial plant that has now become exotic.

Varieties

An amazing long-liver originally from China. It has long been cultivated as a fodder crop. The leaves of the tree served as food for the silkworm - the producer of raw materials for the manufacture of unique fabrics. Gardeners grow the Morus mulberry tree not for silk production, but as an ornamental and fruit crop. The genus consists of twenty-four species. Of these, white and black mulberries are fruitful, a distinctive characteristic of which is the color of the bark of an adult plant. Many gardeners mistakenly believed that mulberries are distinguished by the color of their berries. However, this is not at all the case.

White mulberry has a light bark color. But the berries can be white, cream, pink, purple or completely black. The numerous genus Morus is represented by dioecious and, more rarely, monoecious trees. Most are thermophilic plants that can be grown in southern areas. Only the white mulberry in the middle lane does not freeze, grows well and bears fruit.

Description

Not every fruit plant can boast of its longevity. Within two hundred or even three hundred years, a mulberry will give birth, over time without changing its qualities. The spreading tree reaches a height of twenty to thirty-five meters. Often it is formed in the form of a two- or three-meter bush. The bark is light. The spherical crown is densely covered with oval foliage.

Coliform inflorescences of a mulberry tree are small. They are light green in color. A dioecious or, less commonly, a monoecious plant is wind-pollinated. Drupe fruits are formed in the form of small fruit fruits. They have a pleasant sweetish taste. Depending on the variety, the berries can be colored in different colors. White mulberry ripens from May to July. She bears fruit in the fifth year after planting. The yield is high. The berry picking period is somewhat extended due to uncomfortable ripening. They are not transportable and poorly stored, used immediately after removal.

This mulberry tree is winter-hardy and drought-resistant. These qualities characterize the plant as quite hardy and unpretentious. It is suitable for areas with any type of soil. In addition to these advantages, the mulberry tree is a medicinal plant. The fruits are high in vitamins. In addition, they contain a flavonoid, morin, carotene, fatty acids, and iron salts. Not only berries have medicinal properties. The bark and leaves of the tree are also used medicinally.

Mulberry varieties

White mulberry can act as a fodder, fruit and ornamental crop. They are presented in various varieties with individual characteristics.

So, among the fruitful varieties, white honey mulberry is quite attractive. It is characterized by relative frost resistance and unpretentiousness, resistance to diseases. A tall, deciduous tree has a wide crown. Simple oval leaves are light green in color. Inflorescences are spike-shaped. The juicy fruits are white in color.

Good taste. Long-term harvesting begins at the end of June. Uneven ripening of fruits lasts until early August. Fresh berries are stored for no more than six hours. They practically do not tolerate transportation.

White mulberry varieties Baronessa is a deciduous dioecious plant. Dense, well-leafy crown has a spherical shape. Flowers are dioecious. They are light in color and form a spike-shaped inflorescence. Large berries, which are 3.5 cm in size and 1.5 cm in diameter, are densely colored black.The aromatic complex drupe has a sweet, pleasant taste. Unlike the previous variety, the fruits are relatively transportable. The shelf life is twelve hours. High-yielding variety.

The berry picking period is June-July. This mulberry tree is an unpretentious plant with high frost-resistant indicators. Mulberry in central Russia winters well.

Blackberry Mulberry is a tall, spreading tree with a pyramidal crown. Large fruits reach three centimeters. Black berries are very juicy. The taste is excellent. The slightly acidic taste does not spoil the berries. This variety is less winter-hardy than the Baroness. In winter, the twigs can freeze slightly. An unpretentious plant has a high yield. Fruit ripening occurs at the beginning of July.

In addition to fruit species, there are more than four hundred decorative forms. Mulberry varieties differ in the shape and color of the crown and foliage. These are spectacular plants that are used in landscape design. Trees and shrubs, alleys and hedges, which include mulberry trees, are wonderful. Their openwork crown goes well with evergreens.

White weeping mulberry

A low-growing tree or shrub reaches a height and width of up to three meters. It has a very decorative appearance. The elongated branches of the mulberry tree hang down. This form is irreplaceable in landscape design and will be a decoration for any garden.

Dark green large leaves, which can be from eight to twenty centimeters long, are heart-shaped. In the fall, they turn yellow. The flowering period is from May to June. Mulberry bears fruit with few fruits. They are edible and have a pleasant sweet taste.

In addition, there are spherical, dissected-leaved, Tatar and golden forms of white mulberry. Each of them has its own advantages and is widely used for single or group landings.

Landing

Often summer residents hesitate to plant mulberries, since space is limited in a small area. "Is my garden fit for a trendy exotic?" - such a question arises among gardeners when choosing one or another variety of a long-lived giant.

Growing mulberries provides several ways to form the plant, which will limit the height. A tall, powerful, spreading tree requires a larger area of ​​nutrition. Mulberry planting is carried out according to the scheme of 5 x 6 m. When limiting the height of the mulberry tree and growing in the form of a bush, the scheme is different and is 2 x 3 m. White mulberry is unpretentious. It grows equally well both in unfavorable urban conditions and in suburban summer cottages. The corner of the garden in which the mulberry will grow should be well lit. Planting and caring for mulberry trees follows the generally accepted rules for fruit trees. Saplings are planted in early spring. The landing site should be such as not to damage the root system. For better rooting, a mixture of humus and sand is added to the hole. Water the planting hole abundantly and sprinkle it with soil. Around the trunk of the seedling, the soil is mulched with peat. In the autumn, planting is performed one and a half months before the onset of frost.

Agrotechnics

Care consists in removing weeds, loosening the soil and regular watering. It is especially important to keep an eye on newly planted plants. The presence of weeds that are detrimental to plants is not allowed in the near-trunk circles. Regular weeding and mulching with humus or peat will help them grow normally and quickly. Organic and mineral fertilizers are applied during the summer season. This agronomic technique is very important for the normal development of mulberries and good yields. Fertilization is carried out during bud break. One square meter requires fifty grams of nitrophosphate.After fertilization, the soil is watered vigorously. Watering is stopped in early July. During this period, feeding should also not be carried out. Enhanced nutrition will promote the growth of young shoots, which will freeze out in winter.

Pruning

So that the tree does not grow tall and looks well-groomed, its crown is formed, limiting the growth to three meters. In addition, last year's young growths may freeze slightly in winter. They need to be removed. Mulberry pruning has no individual characteristics. They carry out sanitary and anti-aging techniques, which they perform, following the generally accepted recommendations for fruit trees and shrubs. The mulberry tree tolerates a haircut very well. This reception should be regular. Thinning of the crown is carried out annually. In this case, diseased, damaged and weak branches are subject to removal. Crossed shoots are also cut off.

Getting seed

White mulberry ripens in summer. Ripe fruits are suitable for seed production. After harvesting, some of the berries are left in the sun. They are slightly overripe. Then they are placed in a container for several days.

Juicy fruits should turn sour. Then they are ground in water. Full-weight seeds sink to the bottom of the container. This mass is rubbed through a fine sieve. The resulting seeds are dried. They must be used throughout the year. They quickly lose their germination.

Seed reproduction

Several methods are used to obtain young plants. Seed propagation is possible. This method is started with stratification. The seeds are kept at a temperature of zero or five degrees for a month. A greenhouse is pre-prepared. In early April, mulberries will be sown in it. Reproduction in this way allows you to have forty-centimeter seedlings already in the autumn.

Vaccinations on frost-resistant stock

In order to preserve the maternal traits of a particular strain, grafting will be more effective. This method is more complicated. It requires careful selection of breeding material. Winter mulberry grafting is often used. Young plants of frost-resistant mulberry varieties grown from seeds are used as a stock. They are dug up and stored in wet sawdust. The storage temperature should be zero degrees. Grafts are also stored in moist sawdust. After grafting, the planting material is placed in boxes and kept at a temperature of twenty-five degrees. After that, they are stored in moist sawdust at zero temperature until spring.

Mulberry grafting in the spring is carried out on last year's rootstocks. This event falls on the period before bud break. Cuttings cut in the fall are used. They are stored throughout the winter in wet sawdust at zero temperature.

You can also vaccinate in the summer. To do this, use the blanks of the current year.

Propagation by green cuttings

Planting material is harvested in the second decade of June. Green shoots are suitable, the length of which is at least fifteen centimeters. They are cut from non-lignified branches. The blanks are processed by removing the lower leaves and shortening the upper ones by half. Before rooting, the cuttings are kept for six hours in an aqueous solution of heteroauxin.

Or they are placed in a mixture of sand and peat, which is moistened with this solution. Green cuttings are rooted indoors. The main condition is high air humidity. To create a greenhouse effect, cover with plastic wrap is performed.

Diseases and pests

Like any culture, white mulberry is susceptible to infection. It can be affected by diseases such as bacteriosis, powdery mildew and root rot.

In the spring, prophylactic spraying of the tree with special preparations is carried out.

There are also many pests in the mulberry tree.Beetles, bear, mulberry barbel, wireworm and spider mite damage various parts of the plant. Mechanical and chemical methods are used to combat them. In the autumn, the fallen leaves must be removed and burned.

Features of harvesting

White mulberry is characterized by an extended fruiting period. The berries ripen unevenly. On the one hand, this is good. For a longer period, the mulberry tree will delight with ripe juicy fruits. However, ripe fruits should be removed in a timely manner. Almost all varieties of white mulberry are poorly stored. They are not transportable. If there is a delay in picking, the berries crumble, which leads to their spoilage. After removal, the fruits are immediately processed or consumed fresh.

Useful properties of white mulberry

The medicinal properties of the mulberry tree have been known for a long time. The use of fresh berries helps to improve the general condition of a person. White mulberry helps to normalize the nervous system. It is included in weight loss diets. Low-calorie berry perfectly normalizes metabolism. In addition, the plant cleanses the intestines and promotes the elimination of toxins. Mulberries are most often consumed fresh. It is also cooked. It is suitable for future workpieces. You can make juices, syrups, preserves and marmalades. Wines and liqueurs have an exquisite taste. It is also dried. As such, it is used instead of sugar. White mulberry is irreplaceable in cosmetology. It is included in various hair, face and body masks.

However, with all the advantages, one should not forget about the individual characteristics of the organism. Like any drug, the use of mulberry also has contraindications. Excessive use can be harmful. The berries are not advised to be used by diabetics. Dried mulberry leaves will be more useful for them.
