Features of Fruitless Mulberry

Morus platanifolia ‘Fruitless’ is celebrated for its expansive canopy that spreads evenly to create a natural umbrella shape. Its glossy green leaves remain vibrant throughout the growing season, offering consistent shade and visual appeal. This variety grows quickly, allowing it to establish as a statement feature in less time, while its adaptability to various soil types and climates ensures reliability in diverse settings.

Benefits for Nature

Although fruitless, this Mulberry variety supports wildlife by providing shade and a safe haven for birds and small animals.

Their structured canopies are perfect for shading patios, defining garden pathways, or serving as eye-catching focal points in both formal and casual gardens.

Once established, they exhibit excellent drought tolerance and resilience in varying soil conditions, from sandy to clay-rich substrates. Regular pruning encourages a strong, symmetrical canopy and maintains their striking umbrella shape. These trees are highly adaptable, making them well-suited for gardens across the UK.
