About Shahtoot
Description for Shahtoot, Mulberry, Tuti (Small Leaves)
Morus comprises 10 to 16 species of deciduous trees. Mulberries are fast-growing when young, but soon become slow-growing.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shahtoot, Mulberry, Tuti | White | Early autumn or May | Up to 10 m | Easy to grow |
Planting and care
Plant mulberries in spring as the soil warm up. Tolerant of a range of soils, mulberries can be grown against walls if space is limited. You can also propagate mulberry trees from cuttings. Mulching also resists heat in summer, so a top layer of mulch is a good idea for a mulberry tree growing in a warm climate. Plant the cuttings/saplings at a spacing of 75 / 105 cm x 90 cm.
| Sunlight | Soil | Water | Temperature | Fertilizer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full sun | Moist, loamy soil | Keep the soil moist | 20 to 28 degrees C | In late winter, apply a general purpose fertilizer. In spring, apply a mulch of organic matter such as well-rotted manure. |
