Honeydrops Mulberry
A “Beautiful Beginnings Special Cultivar” it is a non-staining, pinkish/purple semi-dwarf mulberry from Louisville, KY introduced by my former nursery. Semi-dwarf growth habit. Great for fresh eating and excellent dehydrated.
USDA zones 5-8 (estimated)
Spacing: 15-20 foot centers if not pruned; 10 foot centers if kept pruned
Grafted onto Morus rubra (native Red Mulberry)
Other Considerations: Mulberries are self-fertile but will bear more fruit with cross-pollination. (This means if you buy one tree you will get a small amount of fruit but if you buy two or more trees, each with different names, you will get substantially more fruit.)
$39.99 – $59.99
A seedling tree found in the Highlands of Louisville, KY and which was introduced by 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.

Beautiful Beginnings mulberries have highly-developed and extensive root systems that set your tree up for success from the very beginning by helping it to anchor well and grow vigorously with proper care.
All mulberries are shipped dormant and bareroot in the Spring.
