Climate and soil requirement
Black mulberry is particularly suited for places with hot and dry summers but is also cultivated in tropical humid regions, above 500 m and up to 2000 m altitude and in areas where annual rainfall is between 500 and 2000 mm with a dry period of 2 to 6 months. It is less cold-hardy than other mulberry species but it requires a short chilling period and can withstand temperatures down to -10°C.
Land preperation
Pit size of 60x60x60 cm should be dug with a distance between 10 to 12 meter between each plant. It is good practice to add composts such as leaf compost or manure while planting.
