Pakistan Mulberries are also sometimes referred to as
Afghanistan Mulberries as they are native to both countries. These types of Mulberries are not only
different in shape from the Persian Mulberries, but they also taste
differently. What sets the
Pakistani Mulberries apart is their unique shape as they are long length wise.
The fruit is narrow and can grow up to four inches long. The color is a dark
shade of red similar to the color of Blackberries. However, taste wise they are
completely different as these Mulberries are incredibly juicy and sweet.
The actual tree is very vagarious and can grow large.
However, it can also be pruned to a desired height. Due to their strong root system, Mulberry trees in general
should be planted away from buildings or pipes as they can create structural
damage. These resilient trees do
very well in Southern California climate and produce an abundance of delicious
fruit during the early summer months.
In recent years the popularity of Pakistan
Mulberries has risen considerably. In fact they are now available at some of
the Southern California Farmers Markets or select Persian Markets. While the
fruit is absolutely delicious eaten fresh, it has also become a popular and
sought after pie-filling favorite.
In addition, Pakistan Mulberries are also used to create delicious
sauces and preserves.
