White mulberries take less than eight weeks to mature in summer. They are sweet and succulent when they turn white from green. They do not turn red before black like the local, Pakistan and Himalayan varieties. The circled white mulberries are at the most perfect stage of ripeness.
White Mulberries at different stages of ripening
White mulberries may turn light purple when overripe. You can still eat them, but they are less succulent and sweet. You can leave them a little longer on the tree, and they will dry in the hot wind. They will taste crunchy and sweet. They are popular with children and adults.
