When mulberries ripen in different regions

"Good afternoon! After moving to a new city, I discovered a gorgeous mulberry tree in my yard. I can't wait to enjoy the berries. Could you tell me when mulberries ripen and how to determine when I can start picking the ripe ones? (Svetlana)"

Mulberry, also known as mulberry, is a popular fruit crop. To enjoy its delicious fruits, it's important to know what factors, besides climate, influence ripening times. Specifically, the specific variety is of great importance—there are early and late varieties. The former bloom in May, while the latter, more common in northern latitudes and the southwest, bloom and bear fruit in July or even August.

However, the main factor is the specific region and its climate. In Russia, these fruit crops grow primarily in the Central Black Earth Region and southern regions. Since the berries do not tolerate long transportation, you can only enjoy these fruits in the area where the trees grow.

In southern latitudes, both white and black berries ripen as early as early June. They ripen gradually, so the harvest can continue until the end of the first month of summer. However, there are some peculiarities: for example, while in the south the berries ripen in early summer, if you travel just 200–300 km toward northwestern cities, you might be surprised to find the berries still quite green.

The ripening period of mulberries depends on the variety and climatic conditions.

Therefore, it is quite difficult to determine exactly when the mulberry tree will ripen in a specific area due to the slightest climate changes even in nearby areas.

Regardless of the specific location, remember that the fruits, once ripe, hang on the trees for a maximum of 30 days. This plant only bears fruit once a year. Therefore, it's important to enjoy the berries during the ripening period, enriching your body with beneficial vitamins, macro- and microelements.

Now you know when mulberries ripen in different regions, and don't miss the opportunity to pick the most delicious berries right in your own backyard.
