Product Name: Four Seasons Mulberry
Description:
Four Seasons Mulberry is a unique everbearing mulberry variety prized for its ability to flower and fruit multiple times throughout the year. This distinctive trait makes it an excellent choice for extending the fresh mulberry season, offering growers a longer harvest window than traditional single-crop varieties.
Appearance:
The fruit is similar in appearance to common mulberries, ripening to a dark purple-black color. The berries are juicy and versatile, suitable for both fresh eating and processing.
Key Commercial Advantages:
Multiple Harvests – Fruits multiple times per year, extending the supply season.
High Yield – A productive variety well-suited for commercial orchards.
Versatile Use – Excellent for fresh eating, winemaking, and preserves.
Extended Market Window – Provides fresh fruit when other mulberry varieties are out of season.
Note on Flavor:
While the fruit is popular for its productivity, some growers note that it may not be as sweet as single-crop mulberry varieties. This variety is best promoted for its extended harvest season and versatility rather than as a premium fresh-eating fruit.
Harvest Season:
Multiple harvests per year – with the first batch typically in April to May and additional crops continuing through the growing season.
