12L Mulberry (Morus) Chelsea (King James) 1.5m

A mulberry tree with a long memory

The Chelsea King James Mulberry Tree is a variety with history behind it. Known for its deep-coloured fruit and steady growth, it is a tree that takes its time, settling in and building character over the years.

Once established, it becomes something you live alongside. A tree that marks the passing of seasons in its own way, from fresh leaf growth in spring to fruit later in summer.

Who this tree is for

This suits gardens where there is space to let a tree develop naturally. It is a good choice for those willing to wait, and who value long-term reward over quick results.

Often planted as a lasting feature, it works well for those who want to grow something a little less common, with a strong sense of heritage.

A traditional variety with lasting character

Mulberry trees have been grown in the UK for centuries, and the Chelsea King James variety continues that tradition. The fruit is dark, rich and full of flavour, developing through the warmer months and ready to harvest in late summer.

In spring, fresh green leaves appear, followed by steady growth through the season. Over time, the tree develops a broad, characterful shape.
