Morus Alba ‘Pendula’

Morus alba 'Pendula', commonly known as the Weeping Mulberry, is a stunning ornamental tree that combines graceful form with delicious home-grown fruit. Its cascading branches create a beautiful umbrella-shaped canopy, making it an eye-catching feature in any garden while also providing welcome shade during the warmer months.

In late spring, the tree produces small, inconspicuous flowers that develop into an abundance of sweet, juicy mulberries during summer. The fruit ripens from red to deep purple-black and is perfect for eating fresh, adding to desserts, making jams or attracting native birds to the garden.

One of the biggest advantages of Morus alba 'Pendula' is its naturally compact size. Grafted onto a standard trunk, the height remains determined by the graft, while the branches gracefully weep towards the ground. This makes it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, courtyards, lifestyle blocks and feature planting where a full-sized mulberry would be too large.

With its attractive weeping habit, edible fruit and beautiful seasonal character, Morus alba 'Pendula' is a wonderful addition to both ornamental and edible gardens throughout New Zealand.

Morus alba 'Pendula' is self-fertile, meaning a single tree will produce fruit without requiring another mulberry for pollination.
