Mulberry bonsai (72)

Presentation

Mulberry bonsai (Morus) 59 cm tall, with a markedly curved trunk at the base and a 7 cm nebari already well spread over the surface of the soil. The estimated age is 18-20 years and the canopy, dense and with toothed-edged leaves, starts rather low on the trunk. Suited to anyone looking for an already shaped outdoor specimen rather than raw material to train.

How to care for it

The mulberry should be kept outdoors all year round: in full light from March to October, sheltered from icy winter winds. With a canopy of this density on a pot 34 cm in diameter the water is used up quickly, so in summer the substrate needs checking every day and watering as soon as the surface begins to dry; in winter watering becomes far less frequent.

Frequently asked questions

Is the plant I receive the one in the photo?

Yes, the images show this exact mulberry specimen, 59 cm tall and with a 7 cm nebari. As it is a living plant, the foliage may look different on delivery due to growth, maintenance pruning and pinching or the change of season.

How much space does it take up and how much does it weigh?

The round pot measures 34 cm in diameter by 10.5 cm in height, while plant and pot together reach about 70 cm in overall height. The weight is 6.8 kg: worth bearing in mind if you plan to keep it on a shelf or a lightweight table on the terrace.

Can I keep this mulberry bonsai indoors?

No. Morus is a deciduous broadleaf that sheds its leaves in autumn and needs a cold winter rest. It should be grown on a balcony, terrace or in the garden; indoors it weakens within a few months. We recommend a bright, airy position, raised off the ground.
