The Red Mulberry that we have here in zone 6 Pennsylvania is an unbelievably adaptable tree that can be found as far north as Canada, and as far south as Florida.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px; margin: 30px 0px 5px 0px;\"><strong><em>Growth Habit:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 1em 0px 1em 0px;\">A full grown Red Mulberry can grow 30-45 feet tall, which seems tall, but it is considered a small tree.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px; margin: 30px 0px 5px 0px;\"><strong><em>Fruit:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 1em 0px 1em 0px;\">The best part of The Red Mulberry is the excellent sweet berries that they produce. The berries mature in early summer and tend to hang around for 3 or 4 weeks. Mature trees are loaded with berries that resemble blackberries, but taste much better in my opinion. To me they taste like a sweet blackberry, but there is something different about a mulberry that is unlike any other berries that I have tried. People use the berries fresh, to make wine, pies, cobblers, and preserves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 1em 0px 1em 0px;\">&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Additions to a Food Forest | Peak Prosperity.
