We sell grafted fruit trees in various sizes, ranging from young 3-gallon plants all the way up to 25-gallon and larger, mature trees.
As a general rule of thumb, here’s what you can expect from each size:
3 gallon: Will take an average of 2-3 years before harvesting your first crop. Trees are small and may be just a single stem, or just starting to develop their first branches. Typical height is between 2-4 feet.
7 gallon: Will take an average of 1–2 years to produce a crop. Branching structure has started to develop, and trunks are between ½ to 1 inch thick. Typical height is between 3-6 feet.
15 gallon: You can usually expect fruit within a year of planting, and some trees are already fruiting at this size. Branch and canopy structure has taken shape and the tree is starting to grow wider. Trunks are between 1 to 1-½ inches thick. Typical height is 5-8 feet.
25 gallon and larger: These are mature trees, and most are ready to produce fruit or have already produced. They have been pruned and shaped multiple times at this point. Trunks are about 2” thick or larger. Typical height is 6-10 ft.
PLEASE NOTE: These descriptions are generalized - Some species of fruit trees are very quick to produce, and others take longer. For example, mulberry trees can start fruiting at a very young age, even as small as a 3 gallon. Mango, avocado, or sapodilla trees will take longer. Each species grows at a different rate and will take varying lengths of time to establish, and even different cultivars can be more precocious (quick to produce) than others.

Inventory Disclaimer
Every day, we take great care to maintain our inventory and make real-time updates as plants come and go. Because our inventory is constantly changing, and because in-store and online purchases are being made simultaneously, it is possible for a short window to occur when an item is physically sold out, but listed as in-stock on this platform. This is rare, but in the case that it does happen, we will contact you right away and either refund the item or offer an alternative. Thank you for your understanding!
Additionally, we add new plants to the nursery on a weekly, sometimes daily basis. Check back often to see what’s in stock, and click the “Notify me when this item is available” button to get updates when your wish-list items are restocked!

Latin name - Morus spp.
Mulberry is one of a few fruit trees that we believe EVERYONE should have in their yard – no excuses! Famous for the nursery rhyme (yet still underrated), mulberry trees are essential in a Florida food forest, bringing life in a way that no other tree can. They’ll tolerate flooding, severe drought, freezing cold, hurricane-force wind, and all sorts of other abuse, and still produce a ton of sweet berries every year, like clockwork. A short way to describe the fruit is that they’re “like a blackberry that grows on a tree”, but perhaps a touch sweeter. If you have young children, plant a Mulberry tree and watch their faces and hands get stained purple from an afternoon of picking – instant childhood memories!
When planting your Mulberry, choose a location that has as much direct sunlight as possible. Mulberry trees go through a brief dormant period in late winter, defoliating and then quickly sprouting new leaves and fruit. They can be pruned heavily to keep the size manageable, but can become quite large with a broad, spreading canopy if left unmanaged. Mulberries naturally produce a large crop of fruit in springtime, but strategic pruning through the year can lead to multiple crops.
Mulberry fruit can be used in a plethora of ways. Eating fresh, ripe fruit off the tree is best, but you can also make Mulberry pie, jam, syrup, juice, and ice cream! Mulberries can be easily frozen and stored for later use. If you have your own special Mulberry recipe, we’d love to know - drop us an email so we can share it!
At Incredible Edible Landscapes, we’ve collected and are growing a dozen Mulberry varieties and counting. They are one of our most popular fruit trees by far (Mulberry easily earned its spot in our list of Top 6 Essential Fruit Trees for South Florida). Mulberry trees are cultivated and loved all across the world, being well adapted to many different climates. If you have room for only one tree in your yard, Mulberry is a strong contender for the spot!
Pro tip: To harvest lots of Mulberries quickly, take a bed sheet and lay it around the base of the tree. Then grab the trunk and shake vigorously! All the ripe fruit will fall, making collection super easy.
