A Unique, Semi-Dwarf Tree with Delicious Light Fruits
A seedling tree found in the Highlands of Louisville, KY and which was co-introduced by myself while with my previous nursery, “Honeydrops” is a sweet gem of a tree. It has a semi-dwarfing growth habit (15-20 feet tall and wide) and produces delicious non-staining, light pinkish/purple mulberries.
Berries can be eaten when white but will have a much more subdued flavor. When allowed to ripen and turn a lovely, almost translucent pinkish/purple color, the flavor becomes more pronounced, sweeter and nuttier. The tree can be pruned and kept more like a bush if desired. Besides eating fresh, the fruits dehydrate well and make a wonderful addition to oatmeal, granola, and trail mix.
This tree is perfect for growers seeking something special for their mulberry planting.
