Discover the Mojo Berry Mulberry 'Charlotte Russe'

Mulberry 'Charlotte Russe' (Morus rotundiloba), also known as Mojo Berry, is a compact, fruit-bearing shrub bred specifically for small spaces. Recognised as RHS Chelsea Flower Show Plant of the Year in 2017, this unique dwarf mulberry brings abundant harvests to patios, balconies, or urban gardens where space is at a premium.

• Botanical highlights: This deciduous shrub typically reaches just 1.5m in height and spread, making it perfect for containers or tight borders.
• Prolific fruiting: Unlike traditional mulberries, 'Charlotte Russe' fruits on both old and new wood, ensuring you enjoy sweet, dark berries from late spring into summer.
• Low maintenance: This variety is self-fertile and requires minimal pruning—just remove dead or damaged stems in late winter or early spring.

Growing Guide & Care Tips

• Planting location: Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot. Ideal for containers with good drainage or directly in fertile garden soil.
• Soil requirements: Prefers moist but well-drained soils with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0).
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells and while the plant establishes roots.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth and fruiting.
• Pruning: Prune lightly after harvesting to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Remove any deadwood in late winter.

Design & Companion Planting Ideas

• Add structure to patios or balconies by pairing with compact herbs like thyme or chives.
• Create an edible border by combining with strawberries or dwarf blueberries that share similar light and soil preferences.
• Makes an excellent gift for gardeners who want easy-care fruiting plants in small spaces.
