What our customers say

The trees were delivered promptly and they are the biggest, best looking mail-order trees I have seen in a long time. I will be ordering more in the future.

Website customer · email

The bare roots are by far the most established roots that I have ever seen on a bareroot tree.

Website customer · email

It looks like it is at least 7 feet tall. I certainly was not expecting it to be that big.

Lisa · email

Absolutely beautiful trees, especially compared to some of the other mail order bare roots I have gotten from other companies.

Website customer · email

An extra long box for taller trees is totally worth it to me. The trees are great.

William · email

The plants look beautiful and healthy. I was impressed by the size and strength of the 3-Cherry Tree.

Jose · email

Bare root was in great condition. A lot of branching and looks ready for a harvest this year. Best fruit trees in the business!

Daniel, Lapin cherry · website review

Very nice big tree, some limbs already blooming. I've planted it and it hasn't wilted. Arrived quickly and very well packaged.

Beulah, 4 in 1 Fruit Salad · website review

They have really healthy plants, all were larger than I expected. I for sure will be ordering more from them!

Billie · website review

Arrived quickly and in great shape, larger than I had expected too.

Ralph, red currant · website review

Thank you so much for these lovely hardy kiwis. They are much bigger than expected. Will be ordering from you again.

Irene · email

Boxed perfect. Shipped on time. Excellent quality stock. About the only thing you could do to improve my experience would be to fly out to Maine and plant them for me.

Don, Maine · email

I have been buying from your nursery for years, and hands down your citrus has survived the best out of all of my sources. I have never lost a plant in my colder climate.

Returning customer · email

The packaging for those kiwis was brilliant and by far the best packaging job out of any place I ordered from this year. Your Annas are tough as nails.

Travis · email

I received my pink currant in perfect condition. I am always amazed since I live in the southeast and they are in the northwest!

Susan · website review

All 3 bushes arrived looking healthy. It's been over a month and they are still going strong.

Description

Weeping Mulberry is an edible ornamental prized for its flowing, pendulous branches and reliable fruiting. During the growing season, the tree develops a curtain-like form, and by mid to late summer those branches can be dotted with small, sweet, dark-tinted mulberries.

This variety is commonly grown as a statement tree in the front yard or as a focal point in the landscape, but it also performs well in large containers where its form can be appreciated up close. While the fruit is not large, it is pleasantly sweet and enjoyable fresh when fully ripe.

Understanding the weeping form: Like all weeping mulberries, the final shape is determined by simple training when the tree is young. By guiding one upright shoot upward to your desired height and then allowing growth to cascade downward, you control where the “umbrella” of branches begins. If left untrained, the tree will weep low and spread outward.

Overview

  • Classic weeping mulberry with cascading branches
  • Produces small, sweet dark berries
  • Edible ornamental for landscape or container use
  • Self-fertile and dependable
  • Cold hardy and adaptable

Additional Notes

  • Grower’s Insight: This type of weeping mulberry is grown primarily for form, with fruit as a welcome bonus. Training early makes all the difference in the final look.
  • Regional Insight: Performs well across a wide range of climates; full sun encourages denser foliage and better fruiting.
  • Fruit can stain when dropped—avoid planting directly over patios or driveways.
  • Works well as a focal point, accent tree, or patio specimen.

Planting & Care – Weeping Mulberry

Site Selection

  • Select a sunny location for best growth and fruiting.
  • Allow space for branches to cascade outward.
  • Plant away from hardscape if fallen fruit would be an issue.

Soil Preparation

  • Adaptable to many soil types, provided drainage is adequate.
  • Avoid consistently wet or compacted soils.
  • Ideal soil pH ranges from 6.0 to 7.5.

Planting Instructions

  • Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system.
  • Set the root flare at or just above soil level.
  • Backfill with native soil and water deeply.
  • Mulch lightly, keeping mulch away from the trunk.

Training to Your Desired Height

  • Choose one strong, upright shoot to act as the leader.
  • Stake and gently tie the leader as it grows upward.
  • Continue training until you reach your desired canopy height.
  • Once that height is reached, stop training upward and allow branches to weep.

Pruning & Maintenance

  • Prune during dormancy to thin dense growth and maintain form.
  • Remove upright shoots that disrupt the weeping habit.
  • Light annual pruning keeps the canopy healthy and attractive.

Harvest & Use

  • Harvest fruit when fully ripe and soft.
  • Best enjoyed fresh; also suitable for jams and syrups.
  • Regular harvesting reduces fruit drop beneath the tree.

General Tips

  • Training is easiest in the first 1–2 growing seasons.
  • Once established, weeping mulberries are very forgiving.
  • An excellent choice when you want both form and function.
