3. How to grow Dwarf Mulberry in Perth
Sunlight
Prefers full sun.
Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
More sunlight generally encourages better fruit production.
Soil
Grows well in fertile, well-drained soil.
Improve Perth's sandy soil with compost and organic matter.
Avoid waterlogged soil.
Watering
Water regularly during the first growing season.
Deep watering during hot Perth summers is important.
Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant but produces better fruit with consistent moisture.
Fertilising
Apply a balanced fruit tree fertiliser in early spring.
Supplement with compost and organic mulch.
Avoid excessive nitrogen, which encourages leafy growth rather than fruit production.
Pruning
Prune during winter while the tree is dormant.
Remove dead, damaged and crossing branches.
Maintain a compact shape for easy harvesting.
Avoid excessive pruning during the fruiting season.
Mulching
Apply organic mulch around the root zone.
Keep mulch away from direct contact with the trunk.
Mulching helps retain moisture during Perth's hot summers.
