Dwarf Mulberry Bush ‘Issai’ (Morus alba)

Rare and hard-to-find, this dwarf mulberry has performed admirably for us as a container plant. The fruit is larger than our dwarf mulberry and the plant flowers and fruits most of the year in repeating cycles. When grown as a container plant, its plump sweet fruit is easily picked and is also easily protected from birds with lightweight netting. It is hardy as a garden plant in zones 7-9. When grown outdoors, it is deciduous. When grown inside, it will hold its leaves and continue to flower and fruit as long as the light level is high enough.
