Weeping mulberry

[Sandra Bodycoat]

Hi
How long does it take a weeping mulberry to start looking lush & good? The
tree has been in the ground since December 05, it just doesnt ever look
great.
Thanks
Sandra

Not now -- it should be starting to lose its leaves!

Mine looked pretty good within the first 1-2 years. It took another
couple for the trunk to get large enough to support the head though.

You are right it is losing its leaves, but the past few months the leaves
have been yellow/green with brown edges. I am assuming I am doing everything
it wants, water, food.
Cheers

If your climate is anything like Sydney's, just leave it alone. I have a
self-sown mulberry that is at least 4m tall and about 4 years old. Care
given? Zero.
