Red Mulberry works for larger lawns or park settings. With the largest leaves of a native tree in Canada, and beautiful ripples in the bark, it’s used in landscaping, but is under pressure in the wild in Ontario. It prefers rich, moist soil but adapts to average garden conditions. This tree fruits heavily and the berries can stain patios, sidewalks, and vehicles. As a result, it is not ideal near driveways or outdoor seating because of fallen fruit. It attracts birds that may spread seeds around the garden. It is a good long-lived shade tree for larger properties.
