Varaha Mulberry – CERTIFIED ORGANIC

Description

NOT AVAILABLE IN 2021.  Large, very sweet native red mulberry with extremely heavy berry production. These are literally THE largest and BEST native red mulberries we’ve ever seen; exceptional mulberry in every way.  Berries can measure over 1 3/4″ long!  This is an amazing find we discovered in 2018 in the Highlands, Louisville, KY.  Truly a stand-out and superior tree.  Fruit quality resembles “Pakistan” cultivar but is a more hardy tree and is a native selection.  Varaha is a prolific producer of long, very soft and luscious fruits. Just gets loaded down! The plump, long fruits are shiny and sweet with that excellent tangy, sweet, cherry-like red mulberry flavor. Edible at red, ripens and sweetens to dark purple-black. So nice!  If you like native red mulberries and/or want a heavy producing, long-fruited cold hardy mulberry, this is it!  Trouble free.  Large, attractive heart-shaped leaves provide excellent shade. Can be kept smaller through pruning, but will become a nice medium-sized (25-30′ tall) shade tree if left unpruned. Pronounced “Vuh Rah Ha”. Peaceful Heritage Nursery Exclusive!  One of our best.
