Red Mulberry – A Nutrition Powerhouse

Why Red Mulberry (Morus Rubra)?

The red mulberry, also known scientifically as Morus rubra, is a mulberry indigenous to the eastern and central regions of North America. It is small to a medium-sized deciduous tree. The flowers are not very noticeable since they are tiny, yellowish-green, or reddish-green, and they bloom simultaneously as the leaves do. In the spring and early summer, birds show a strong interest in the berries; in Arkansas alone, up to 31 species of birds have been seen visiting fruiting trees.

The red mulberry is a marvel in and of itself due to its diverse array of nutrients, applications, and advantages. Not only can you eat and benefit from the berries, but it also has anti-cancer properties.

Despite this, mulberries are nutritional powerhouses because they contain abundant essential nutrients such as vitamin C, K, iron, and anthocyanin, which are especially good for the blood.

When its bark is damaged, it secretes a substance similar to latex, which prevents the tree from being overrun by predators and enables any wounded tissue to recover and close itself swiftly 

The berries can be eaten off the bush or used in preserves, jams, and jellies. They can also be used as a baking ingredient to liven up a bread, muffin, or cake.

Pollination: The flowers are cross-pollinated by the wind.

Fertilization

Fertilization

It is generally recommended to wait to fertilize a bare root plant until it has been established in the ground and is actively growing. This can vary depending on the type of plant and the growing conditions, but it is generally best to wait at least a few weeks to a few months after planting.

During the first year, you should focus on providing the plant with the right amount of water, sunlight and soil to help it become established. Once the plant has become established and is actively growing, you can begin to fertilize it.

You can use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer or one that is specifically formulated for the type of plant you have. Be sure to follow the instructions on the fertilizer package and apply it at the recommended rate.

It is also important to note that over-fertilizing can be harmful to plants, so it's always best to error on the side of caution and start with a lower amount of fertilizer and increase as needed.
