    Shangri-La Mulberry (Morus alba 'Shangri-La')

    Taste: The Shangri-La Mulberry produces small to medium-sized berries that are sweet, juicy, and flavorful. They have a taste similar to a combination of blackberries and raspberries, with a pleasant tartness that complements their sweetness.

    Best Growing Environment: Shangri-La Mulberries thrive in well-drained, loamy soil with good organic matter. They prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade. The tree is well-suited to warmer climates but can adapt to various soil types, provided drainage is adequate.

    Common Names:

    • Shangri-La Mulberry
    • Shangri-La White Mulberry

    Average Height: This variety typically grows to a height of 15 to 20 feet (4.5 to 6 meters) and can spread out similarly, forming a rounded canopy.

    Growth Rate: The Shangri-La Mulberry is considered a fast-growing tree. It can add about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) of height per year under optimal conditions.

    Sun Requirements: It prefers full sun exposure for at least 6 to 8 hours a day. However, it can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates.

    Cold Hardiness: This mulberry is hardy in USDA zones 6 through 9. It can withstand temperatures down to approximately -10°F (-23°C), making it suitable for a range of temperate regions.

    Water Requirements: The tree requires regular watering, especially during dry periods. It's important to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, it can tolerate moderate drought conditions.

    Planting Guide:

    • Site Selection: Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil.
    • Planting Time: Best planted in spring or fall.
    • Spacing: Space multiple trees about 15 to 20 feet apart to allow for their mature size.
    • Planting Depth: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth. Place the tree so that the top of the root ball is level with the ground surface.

    Fertilizing:

    • Spring: Apply a balanced fertilizer (such as a 10-10-10) in early spring as new growth begins. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage based on the tree's size.
    • Summer: If needed, a mid-summer application of a high-potassium fertilizer (like 0-10-10) can help support fruit development.
    • Fall: Avoid fertilizing in late fall to prevent new growth that might be damaged by frost.

    USDA Zone: The Shangri-La Mulberry is suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 6 through 9.
