Dwarf Thai Black Mulberry Tree 7G

Dwarf Thai Black Mulberry Tree in 7-Gallon Pot Available in Jupiter, FL

The Dwarf Thai Black Mulberry (Morus sp. ‘Dwarf Thai Black’) is a compact, everbearing variety prized for its sweet, juicy berries and continuous production throughout the year. Producing elongated, deep purple-black fruit with a rich, honey-sweet flavor, this tree is perfect for snacking straight off the branch—no grocery store required.

Unlike traditional mulberries, this dwarf variety stays smaller and more manageable, making it ideal for patios, small yards, and high-yield edible landscapes. In a 7-gallon pot, this plant is well-established and ready to deliver frequent harvests with minimal effort.
