Mulberry Morus - Chelsea King James - 12L

Available from Notcutts comes the Mulberry Morus - Chelsea King James.

There is a fascinating history to this black mulberry. It is derived from a tree that existed in the 17th century, in a garden in Swan Walk, which became the Chelsea Physic Garden, during the time of King James I. During The Second World War, the last remaining tree was about to be grubbed to make way for an air shelter when cuttings were taken and this variety has survived ever since in the trees of this name.

Producing large, succulent, intensely flavoured fruit, the tree crops early in life and harvesting is best done each day.

Key Features

• If hand picked, the fruit will be bruised causing staining to fingers and clothes – children enjoy the experience of course!
• For a clean operation take a large sheet and lay it under the tree and shake the boughs vigorously.
• Any perfectly ripe fruit will fall and are subsequently gathered with ease.
