How to Select Healthy Red Mulberry？

When purchasing red mulberry, look for vibrant, green leaves indicating good health. Ensure leaves are free from yellowing, spots, or holes, which could signal diseases or pest infestations. Examine the plant for pests like aphids or spider mites, particularly on the undersides of leaves. Check the plant's stem and roots for signs of rot or damage. A healthy red mulberry should exhibit overall vigor with a strong, upright structure and ample new growth. Avoid plants with wilting, drooping, or brittle stems as these indicate poor health.
