Fruit Trees

Black Mulberry

Morus nigra

توت أسود

Darker, sharper, and far better flavoured than the white mulberry, and the one worth planting for eating. Slow to start and long-lived, developing a leaning, characterful trunk with age.

Blooming season: Spring
Flower colour: Green
Fruiting and harvest: July to August
How to care: Full sun in deep soil that holds some moisture. Water young trees through their first summers; mature trees cope alone. Prune only in midwinter when fully dormant to avoid heavy bleeding, and keep pruning minimal. Fruit stains badly, so site it away from terraces, pale paving, and washing lines. Ripe fruit will not keep, which is precisely why it is worth growing at home.

Available in medium, large. Exact pot size and plant height are confirmed when we reply to your order.

Sweet Orange

Citrus sinensis

The orange that built the Lebanese coast. Sweet, thin-skinned fruit on a compact evergreen that flowers white and scents an entire courtyard in spring. Best below about 700m, where winter cold stays gentle.

Lemon

Citrus limon

A lemon tree earns its space twice over: heavy scent when it flowers, and fruit through the coldest months when the rest of the garden has stopped giving. Happy in open ground along the coast and in a large pot anywhere the winter turns sharp.

Mandarin

Citrus reticulata

Easy-peeling, intensely fragrant, and the first citrus most Lebanese children learn to pick themselves. Naturally smaller than an orange tree, which makes it the citrus to choose for a courtyard or a large terrace pot.
