Mulberry (White) : CARMAN 90-180 cm (3-6') grafted

$69.95

In stock

(Morus alba × Morus rubra)
If you love mulberries but dislike the purple stains on fingers or sidewalks then this might be the one for you. Carman will give you large, delicately sweet, creamy-white fruit that doesn't turn mushy when fully ripe like some white mulberries do. Of course, they are great for fresh eating, but with the amount of fruit it bears, you might have to stay up at night to eat all of it! Drying them is an excellent option too. The fruit ripens over a span of a week or two so some folks spread tarps beneath the tree and shake it for easy harvest. With the lighter colour this fruit attracts less attention from freeloading birds.
Carman's origins are interestingly obscure. Here in Ontario it's propagation started some years ago with scionwood provided by a fellow of European descent. By now you will find Carman listed in European nurseries as originating in Canada. So all we can say for sure it has found favour on both sides of the Atlantic.

Mulberry Product Overview

Mulberries (Morus spp)
A vigorous, hardy, disease and pest resistant tree, the mulberry was often planted to attract birds keeping them away from other tree crops such as sweet cherries. It really is no wonder the birds love the juicy berries – the pleasing blend of sweetness and tartness makes it one of the best flavours of all fruits!
Now new research is indicating that from a health standpoint, mulberries may actually be the most valuable tree fruit. Dried mulberries and even the leaves are being touted as the latest superfood. The fruit itself has an impressive antioxidant punch, but a compound in the leaves called DNJ is what’s creating excitement. Drinking mulberry leaf tea with your meal helps to control blood sugar and possibly prevent diabetes. The tree is also appreciated for its ornamental appeal, however the dark fruited varieties should be planted away from sidewalks and driveways, as the fallen fruits can cause staining.
