Fruit & Nut Tree pre-ordering is now closed, Friends!
If you’ve placed your pre-order, pick-up weekend will be April 27 & 28, 2024 (from 10-2pm)!
A small tree which we have big stained purple hearts for! Native to a massive range of the Eastern and Southeast US, hardy and resilient, growing back from cold or other damage. Discovering a ripe Red Mulberry tree is like falling in plant love….wait, you are telling me there is a tree that bears fruit like blackberries but there are no thorns? Sheltered under shaded branches, reaching up and picking and picking and picking…is bliss. Great for jams, jellies, syrups, wines, you name it. Fruition’s Red Mulberries are 1-2 foot seedlings. And Friends! Most Red Mulberry Seedlings are self-fertile, meaning no additional mulberries are needed nearby for pollination, but we recommend planting 2 seedlings because of some fun and random chance that you may get a “pollen receiving” seedling or an all “pollen giving” seedling.
Please purchase trees & tree kits separately from non-tree items. Also on orders of 25+ trees, enjoy a 10% discount automatically applied to your cart!
