The Mulberry is a
deciduous tree that does well in Mediterranean climates with annual rainfalls
from 1500 to 2500 mm but can adapt in drier climates. It grows well on a wide
range of soils if well drained
and can tolerate some shading.
Aside from the fruit, the leaves are also highly nutritious and a valuable fodder for poultry and livestock, especially sick or high production animals such as dairy cows.
Commercial value: It conventionally costs some Sh8500 to establish a perennial pasture of Mulberry, but gives a return of Sh25,000 Sh30,000 per month from increased milk production. The tree takes 3-6 months to mature.
