MULBERRY CHAING MIA #60 DWARF

Buy Chiang Mai #60 Mulberry Trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida.

Chiang Mai #60 is a productive Thai fruiting mulberry cultivar valued for its elongated berries, heavy fruiting potential, vigorous growth, and ability to be maintained at a manageable size with regular pruning.

This specialty mulberry has been grown and studied in Thailand for fresh-fruit production. Its berries develop from red to deep purple-black as they mature and have a pleasant mulberry flavor that ranges from mildly sweet to sweet-tart depending on ripeness and growing conditions.

One of the standout qualities of Chiang Mai #60 is its strong response to pruning. Regular pruning can help maintain the plant as a smaller fruiting tree or large shrub while encouraging vigorous new growth for future fruit production.

It is an excellent choice for home orchards, edible landscapes, food forests, specialty fruit collections, and customers looking for an unusual productive mulberry for warm climates.

North Florida Growing Note:

Chiang Mai #60 is a warm-climate Thai mulberry, so we recommend it as a promising specialty fruiting mulberry for North Florida rather than guaranteeing complete cold hardiness.

In the Florida Panhandle, plant Chiang Mai #60 in full sun with good drainage and protect young plants during severe freezes. Tender new growth and developing fruit can also be damaged by late freezes.

Established plants may recover vigorously following cold damage, but customers in colder locations should consider planting in a protected area of the landscape.

Because Chiang Mai #60 responds strongly to pruning, it is particularly useful for growers who want a productive mulberry that can be maintained at a comfortable harvesting height.

Pruning for Size & Production:

Chiang Mai #60 can be pruned after a major harvest to encourage fresh new growth and help maintain a compact, bushy form.

Regular pruning makes harvesting easier and prevents the tree from becoming unnecessarily large.

Avoid excessive continual pruning while the plant is actively setting and developing fruit.

Pollination Recommendation:

Chiang Mai #60 is generally considered self-fruiting, so a second mulberry tree is not normally required.

This makes it a useful choice for customers with limited growing space who want to plant only one mulberry.

Fruit & Planting Location Note:

Fully ripe mulberries are soft and juicy and can stain concrete, patios, sidewalks, vehicles, and other hard surfaces.

Plant fruiting mulberries away from driveways and heavily traveled paved areas.

Birds and other wildlife are also very attracted to ripe mulberries and may share the harvest.
