Hello all,

I'm curious about mulberry trees, have scoured the net and am left even more confused.

I'm wanting to grow a few mulberry trees but am not sure what quantity of berries to expect. I'm assuming each species has limitations. Is there a species that has a high yield of sweet berries? Specifically sweet as this pertains to sugar content I believe. Open for correction of course. High yield because I want a lot of them too.

How tall would the species identified grow to?
How long until it produces fruit?
Does the trees yield an increasing amount of fruit or is it steady from year to year?
Are there years in which the trees do not produce fruit? If so is it a regular cycle?
How rugged are the trees with insects and infections?
How rugged are the leaves with insects and infections?

Please mull it over and thank you in advance for your responses.

My mulberry bush is like a long stick with no or one or two branches. How can make it more tree like?

How low can I trim to make tree out of it?

Can the Black Austurkey variety be grown in Tennessee and survive the winter? Can't find much info about it.

I just bought a farm and it has multiple mulberry trees and bushes.

I’ve heard there is a market for mulberry leaves. If so , how what? How would I market them? Also Ive heard the leaves are edible? How are they harvested for food? How are they prepared? Thanks for any advice on this new found recourse would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello! Does anyone know of a place selling gerardi mulberry plants that will ship? Thank you in advance!

I rent my house and there are two fruitless mulberry trees at the house. The landlord usually trims off all the branches once the leaves drop. This year though he never trimmed them. A guy is supposed to come this week and trim the branches but they already have leaf buds. I told my landlord that they are budding but he said the MUST be trimmed. I worry that it's too late in the season to trim them and they will be damaged or won't grow properly. If they are trimmed now will they be grown put enough for the summer?

I am new to growing fruit trees, and wanted to grow a mulberry tree on my plot on my allotment. I don't mind waiting a long time for it to fruit. There are hight and root spread limits on my allotment to prevent overgrowth. My question is, are there any varieties of dwarf/shorter mulberry trees? I've read about mojo berry variety but have heard the taste is not very similar to other mulberries. Again I don't mind the wait I just want to get it right. The hight limit would be 4M but ideally 2M

If there is no such thing as dwarf mulberry trees is it possible to grow them and just remove it from my plot before it gets too big, but to still benefit from it's fruit? If so what kind of time frames would I be looking at?

Located in the UK.

Thanks

Need a dark place to sleep in Polk county. I'm tired of Walmarts. Now most of em have a no overnight parking sign and I'm on felony probation. I'm in Brewster now. Thinking abandoned land would be good but can't get down there I'd need a four wheel drive. And secrets would help. I just want somewhere out of the shit city

I’m so enthusiastic about propagating a mulberry tree. I bought an expensive one and killed it afew months in with over feeding it and since then have educated myself on how to grow them from clippings. I’ve had 12 different clippings from 3 different red/black variety, I’ve prepped the clippings both soft and semi hardwood with clonex, planted in good quality potting mix, covered with a few air holes. Some with bags, others with plastic bottles, in shaded area and they all die!! I think I may be over watering but I’m so lost as to how much to water and how often?! Im in late spring now and my clippings are about one month old. What can I do to make these ones successful? any helpful full proof tips appreciated. TIA

I have a weeping mulberry tree that I just planted in the past week. The leaves are droopy, wilted. Some are drying out. I water every other day. Is that not enough? I know it's to fast to be root rot from over watering.

hey, I’ve just bought a mulberry bag. It’s vintage but I am always distrusting of online sellers can someone help me check it is real

I have what I now know to be a mulberry tree growing behind my shed. I've never been very observant about species of trees and cannot identify many of them. This particular tree had a branch that was touching my shed and beginning to damage the roof, so I cut it late last summer. The large branch had a rather large number of smaller ones. Now, it is laden with fruit and berries are littering the ground, which surprised me. I've read that heavy pruning can cause unproductive male trees to suddenly produce fruit. Is this what happened?

So I have a lovely young Illinois ever bearing mulberry tree that I took cuttings from. I’m in zone 7b. I know typically cuttings are taken in the spring but we have a long growing season so I’m giving it a go. I tried to research online and there are a myriad of ways people are doing it and it seems like no one knows the best method. I’m trying three methods. Water rooting, cuttings in a pot with moist well drained soil and plastic bag. Wondering if anyone here has had great results and what method you use and recommend?
