Pakistan White Fruiting Mulberry is a heat-loving fruit tree that produces extraordinary long, thin berries up to 3½ inches in length, ripening to a pale yellow when mature. Hardy in zones 8-10 and naturally low-chill (requiring just 200 hours), this cultivar thrives in full sun and can reach 30 feet or more, though it responds well to pruning for smaller gardens. The real draw is the extended harvest window; fruit continues ripening over more than a month through summer, offering weeks of fresh picking. Reliably resistant to popcorn disease even in hot, humid climates, it combines disease resilience with the forgiving nature of a tree that demands little once established.

Those elongated berries are nothing like the shorter mulberries most gardeners know. Pale yellow when ripe, they hang heavy with a sweetness that develops through the long summer season. The tree's low chill requirement and proven resistance to popcorn disease make it one of the few mulberries truly suited to warm, humid regions where fungal problems plague other varieties. Summer heat feeds its appetite, not its disease burden.
These mulberries are eaten fresh off the branch during their extended summer ripening window. The long, slender fruit shape and sweet flavor suit them to fresh consumption, though like other mulberries they can be used for juice, jam, or preserves if the harvest is abundant enough to spare from eating fresh.

Pick fruit over the extended summer harvest period from July through September as berries ripen to a light yellow color. The berries continue to mature and ripen for more than a month, so plan multiple picking sessions rather than a single harvest. Ripe fruit comes away easily with a gentle tug; unripe berries will not detach. Harvest regularly to encourage continued ripening of the remaining crop.
Prune during dormancy to shape the tree and manage its size. Pakistan White Fruiting Mulberry can grow to 30 feet or more, but responds readily to pruning if you prefer a smaller specimen. Remove crossing branches, dead wood, and any low-hanging growth that interferes with harvest access. The tree's generous fruit production continues regardless of moderate pruning.
