Varies by species and cultivar; match both winter lows and local chill accumulation

Winter chill

Low chill

Typical harvest

Late spring through summer in repeated flushes

Before you plant

These conditions determine whether it will thrive.

Cold hardiness

Hardy here

Dave Wilson rates it to USDA zone 5, about -20°F, so cold is no issue. An early frost after leaf-out can nip new growth, but it refruits through spring.

Leaves and wood: damaged below -20°F

Heat tolerance

Takes full sun and heat

Fruits through spring and early summer, mostly ahead of the worst heat. Handles full sun in the ground. In a container, give it afternoon shade so the roots do not cook.

Right plant, right place

Will Dwarf Everbearing mulberry grow at your Arizona property?

The low desert usually supplies roughly 300–400 chill hours, and in a warm winter less. Choose varieties needing 300 hours or fewer there; colder Arizona elevations can support higher-chill choices.

Best regional fit: Urban core · USDA 9b–10a, Valley suburbs · USDA 9a–9b, Desert outskirts · USDA 8b–9b, High desert · USDA 6a–8b.

Planting & stewardship

How to help Dwarf Everbearing mulberry thrive

1
Choose a rootstock suited to the site’s soil, drainage, salinity, desired size, and pest pressures.
2
Plant bare-root trees while dormant, keeping the graft union above finished grade.
3
Thin developing fruit early enough to improve size and reduce limb breakage.
4
Use dormant and summer pruning intentionally to balance shade, access, vigor, and next year’s fruiting wood.
