Description
Mulberries (Shahtoot Tree Seeds)
How to Sow:
- Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, fertile soil.
- Planting Depth: Sow seeds about 1 cm deep.
- Spacing: Maintain a distance of 5-6 meters between trees to allow for proper growth.
Gardening Tips:
- Watering: Water regularly during the initial growth phase. Once established, mulberry trees are relatively drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture.
- Pruning: Prune to remove dead or diseased branches and to maintain a manageable size and shape.
- Protection: Protect young seedlings from pests and extreme weather conditions.
Fertilizer Use: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer before planting. During the growing season, use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to promote foliage growth and fruit production. Mulching around the base of the tree helps retain moisture and adds nutrients to the soil as it decomposes.
Harvesting Time Period: Mulberry trees typically start bearing fruit 2-4 years after planting. Harvest the fruits when they are fully ripe, which is usually indicated by a change in color and a fragrant aroma.
Health Benefits: Mulberries are rich in vitamins C and K, iron, and fiber. They support immune health, improve digestion, and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Mulberries also contain antioxidants that protect against cellular damage.
