Planning to install this yourself? We recommend a size 15 Gallon or smaller for DIY installations. These sizes do not require any offloading equipment.
Any tree or shrub that is sized by HEIGHT or CAL (Caliper- size where the trunk meets the root flare) is delivered with a large root ball wrapped in burlap (B&B). They are typically 1000+ LBS per plant. They will require heavy equipment to install. Installation is not included in the price of the plant. We highly recommend adding the ServeScape ‘One-Click’ Installation service (must be added at the cart page) for material of this size, or working with a contractor that can provide equipment for installation.

For any tree or shrub that is sized larger than 10’ HEIGHT or 3” CAL, the customer will be required to provide offloading equipment or a contractor to offload unless paying for installation through ServeScape. We will coordinate delivery with you so that your contractor can have equipment ready upon your plant's arrival!
**Dormancy Note - This plant is currently dormant for the winter! It is available for purchase! Your delivered plant may be dormant, or showing very little top growth. However, you can still plant! These plants are putting all their energy into root production, so they will be ready to thrive in the spring! If you have any issues with your plant the following peak season, you can fill out our return request form to request a replacement plant.

Red Mulberry, scientifically known as Morus rubra, is a deciduous tree native to North America. Here's some information about Red Mulberry:

  1. Appearance: Red Mulberry trees can grow up to 70 feet (21 meters) tall, but they are often smaller in urban settings. The leaves are alternate, simple, and have a serrated edge. They are typically dark green and can vary in shape, ranging from oval to lobed. The tree produces small, round, and edible fruits that are dark purple or black when ripe.

  2. Habitat: Red Mulberry trees are adaptable and can be found in a variety of habitats, including forests, woodlands, and along streams. They prefer moist, well-drained soils and can tolerate both full sun and partial shade.

  3. Wildlife Value: The fruits of Red Mulberry trees are a valuable food source for wildlife. Birds, such as robins and cedar waxwings, are particularly fond of the sweet berries. The tree also provides cover and nesting sites for birds and offers habitat for various insects and other small animals.
