What to Do With a Mulberry Tree in May – For an Impressive Harvest of Juicy Summer Fruit

A branch of a mulberry tree covered in fruit.

Often described as low-maintenance and easy to grow, mulberry trees can be a wonderful addition to your garden. In May, however, they require careful upkeep: you'll need to fertilize, water regularly, and avoid hard pruning your mulberry tree before it starts to bear fruit.

Steady moisture and balanced nutrition is crucial for mulberry trees at this time of year; it's what helps them to produce lush foliage and bigger berries. The fruit itself should start to appear in late June – though it's worth noting that mulberry trees can take up to 10 years to fruit, if planted from seed.
