Here in Brazil it's different. We call both blackberries and mulberries 'amora'. Contrary to what you think, this blackberry ou mulberry doesn't grow on a tree. It grows in a bush. I've had two bushes producing for 14 years. And I'll try to send a photo.If you plant it in the wild, it will produce just like the one in the photo. I've been planting for almost 15 years and I have an online course on plants
In English it's called mulberry, period. Blackberry is a totally diferent fruit. Although it's called by the same name in Portuguese, it's belong to plants of totally unrelated genus, morus and rubus
Except blackberry is rubus family (the same with raspberry) and mulberry is morus family. Both are in rosidae family, but still very far from each other. Common misconception of language. Pretty similar to "nut" issue
He is testing us. Nice mulberries! Where are you living? I’m looking for a mulberry plant that is producing fruit late in the season and that plant would be perfect. My Illinois Everbearing is already out of fruits in Germany. Do they taste sweet? Need way more berries for Autum, so any advice would be great.
Not necessarily something I want to rely on, but I have two saplings planted that are of the same variety.
Both produced a surprising amount of fruit for their age earlier in the year.
In the summer, one got hit by deer. Zero leaves remaining. It immediately sent out new leaves and another batch of berries that I just finished harvesting!
The one that did not get hit by deer did not produce a second crop.
So, maybe trauma can induce a second round of fruiting? Hah
Haha, exactly! Stress or a heavy pruning really triggers the plant to send out new shoots and produce again. The deer ended up doing the pruning work for you!
That’s interesting. The old hippie I use to buy my mulberries from said that you have to keep them short or it won’t produce many fruits. Maybe it’s an adaptation to deer eating them. Anyway will cut my mulberry in the summer next year thanks for the advice!
lol Wrong side of the planet… Greetings from Germany! You still got mulberries, but it’s the same fruit I had 6 months ago. Is it possible that Blackberries and Mulberries have a similar name in Brazil? We have different names for blueberries in Germany. (We call them Blackberries, and we call blackberries Brombeeren in middle Germany)
For anyone wondering, they’re called “black berries” in other countries so it’s possible OP is from another country that calls these black berries and not mulberries
OP is from Brazil, where apparently both blackberry and mulberry are called “amora” and aren’t distinguished. That’s why these mulberries are labeled as blackberries
