One of a Kind Red Mulberry (Morus rubra) Pre-bonsai in 8" Training Pot (01)
A tall, upright Red Mulberry with developing taper, textured bark, and a framework of branching that’s ready for refinement. Unlike common species seen everywhere in bonsai, Red Mulberry is rarely worked — which makes this tree stand out as something different. Already vigorous enough to carry strong branching and seasonal growth, it has the bones to develop into an unconventional but striking informal upright bonsai.
 
Red Mulberry is a hardy North American native that thickens quickly, responds strongly to pruning, and will even fruit when mature. Its rugged bark and bold serrated foliage offer a look that sets it apart from more traditional bonsai subjects. For growers looking to expand beyond the usual maples, elms, and junipers, this tree offers both novelty and real horticultural strength.
 
Care Notes:
Cold-hardy to Zone 4; requires winter dormancy and should be kept outdoors year-round.
Prefers full sun for best growth and fruiting.
Mulberries are thirsty trees—water generously during the growing season.
Responds well to pruning; selective defoliation can help reduce leaf size.
Fruits on new growth—prune after fruiting if you wish to enjoy berries.
