Shahtoot (Mulberry) Tree Seed

These high-quality seeds yield fruitful mulberry trees, perfect for adding a bountiful harvest of sweet, juicy berries to your garden. Follow these tips and tricks for optimal growth and a bountiful harvest:

Sowing Tips:

• Timing: Sow seeds in early spring or late summer for the best results.
• Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Mulberry trees thrive in temperatures between 20°C to 35°C.
• Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by incorporating organic compost to enhance fertility and drainage. Mulberries prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil.

Planting Tips:

• Depth: Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in seed trays or directly in the ground.
• Spacing: Space the seeds 15-20 feet apart to allow adequate space for growth.

Watering and Fertilization:

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to establish a strong root system.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer once or twice a year to promote healthy growth and fruit production.

Care and Maintenance:

• Weed Control: Regularly remove weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
• Pruning: Prune young trees to shape them and remove any dead or diseased branches. Mature trees require minimal pruning.
• Pest Control: Monitor for pests such as aphids, spider mites, and caterpillars. Use organic pest control methods to protect your tree.

Growth and Harvesting:

• Growth Rate: Mulberry trees grow relatively fast, reaching up to 30-50 feet in height.
• Fruit Harvesting: Mulberries are typically ready to harvest in late spring to early summer. Gently shake the branches or handpick the ripe, dark-colored berries.
• Storage: Store harvested mulberries in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and flavor.

Climate Adaptation: Mulberry trees are well-suited to Pakistan’s climate, thriving in both hot summers and mild winters. They are drought-resistant once established but grow best with regular watering
