Morus nigra (8L) is a deciduous fruit tree known for its delicious, sweet-to-tart dark purple berries that ripen in summer. This hardy, spreading tree features attractive lime-green foliage and provides excellent shade, making it a perfect addition to larger Auckland gardens or home orchards. Grow in a sunny, sheltered position in moist, well-draining soil. Highly frost-tolerant and low-maintenance once established, it can be pruned to maintain a more compact size.
