Pakistani mulberry plants are a prized fruiting tree known for producing some of the longest and sweetest mulberries in the world. Their berries can reach up to 3–4 inches in length, offering a deep red to almost black color when fully ripe, with a flavor that’s rich, sweet, and less tart than traditional mulberries. This makes them perfect for fresh eating, drying, or using in jams, desserts, and smoothies. The trees themselves are fast-growing, drought-tolerant once established, and can provide generous shade in addition to their heavy fruiting. Pakistani mulberries are also admired for their long harvest season, often producing fruit for several weeks compared to other varieties that ripen in a short window. In central Florida, these trees adapt well to sandy soils as long as they are well-drained, and they benefit from full sun exposure for maximum fruit yield. Beyond their productivity, they are an excellent choice for gardeners wanting a low-maintenance fruit tree with show-stopping fruit. Their combination of sweetness, size, and long harvest season has made them a favorite among backyard growers and specialty orchard enthusiasts alike.
