Full sun or partial shade (6-8 hours of sunlight)

Mulberries are not selective about soil as long as it is slightly acidic and well-drained. The ideal soil pH is 5; 5 - 7.

4. Hydration

Make sure the soil is clean to retain moisture and reduce weeds, especially during the growing and dry seasons.

Feed your salmon with a balanced fertilizer in the spring before new growth appears. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package to determine the correct application rate.
