Mulberry (Morus rubra)
Full sun to part shade.
Low to average water needs.
Size: 12-36 ft tall
Bloom Time: Spring
Red mulberry is the only native mulberry in Florida. This tree is a spring bloomer, followed by dark plum colored berries. It can be very messy, so choose a space where dropped berries will not be a problem. The ripe fruit is edible to humans, and highly favored by wildlife. This tree will survive in shade, but will fruit more readily in full sun.
