Grow a piece of history with this Mulberry ‘Charlton House’, propagated from the oldest mulberry tree in England, planted 400 years ago at Charlton House in London. This low-maintenance, disease-free mulberry makes a beautiful specimen tree, with heart-shaped foliage borne on gnarled, twisted branches. The leaves turn a beautiful golden yellow in autumn. After 8-10 years the tree will start to produce large, juicy fruits that ripen to black and are delicious eaten straight off the tree or turned into jam. You won’t find these in the supermarket! Mulberry ‘Charlton House’ makes an unusual and characterful feature in any garden and is sure to become a talking point. Ultimate height: 12m (39ft). Ultimate spread: 15m (49ft).

Grow mulberry trees in moist, slightly acid soil in a sheltered position in full sun. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil, and drive a stake into the planting hole to support the tree once it is planted. Plant mulberries at the same soil level as they were growing at the nursery, and use a tree tie to fasten the tree to the stake.
