Mulberry ‘Charlton House’ originates from the oldest species in the UK, planted at Charlton House in 1608, this black mulberry tree produces heavy crops and stunning foliage. Large and slow-growing, it can often take up to 6 years to produce fruit, among the heart-shaped leaves. Cropping heaviest in winter, black juicy berries are also produced in maturity. Mulberry ‘Charlton House’ is self-fertile and matures slowly over winter, ripening in August. Height: 12m (39′). Spread: 15m (49′).Estimated time to cropping once planted: 4 years.Estimated time to best yields: 10 years. Grow mulberry trees in moist, slightly acid soil in a sheltered position in full sun. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil, and drive a stake into the planting hole to support the tree once it is planted. Plant mulberries at the same soil level as they were growing at the nursery, and use a tree tie to fasten the tree to the stake.
