Morus alba pendula Weeping Mulberry Standards

Morus alba ‘Pendula’, commonly known as Weeping Mulberry, is a striking deciduous tree grafted onto a standard trunk, creating an elegant cascading canopy. Its long, pendulous branches form a dense, umbrella-like shape, making it an excellent feature tree. In spring and summer, it produces lush green, lobed leaves that provide dappled shade before turning golden-yellow in autumn. Some varieties may produce small, edible white to reddish-black mulberries, attracting birds and wildlife.

In Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, and Brisbane, Weeping Mulberry thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. It is highly adaptable to different soil types and tolerates heat, drought, and light frost once established. Regular watering during establishment promotes strong growth, while occasional pruning in winter helps maintain its shape and encourages fresh growth. This hardy and low-maintenance tree is ideal for courtyards, garden focal points, or shaded seating areas, offering beauty, structure, and seasonal interest.
