Who has a mulberry tree? I think Sacha does.
I have one in a pot, about 3 feet high, aobut 10 years old.
3 years ago it had 3 fruit. I put it in a bigger pot, no fruit the
last 2 years. This year it has at least 8. I hope the birds don't get
them. I love mulberries. When I could drive I used to go round to
gardens which I knew had mulberries at ripe-fruit time but can't do
that now and the 2 I knew of in my town have gone, sadly.
I have a mulberry. It's about 15 ft tall and I have to fight the birds
to get any fruit. I've read that they can be propagated from winter
cuttings and have been wondering how to do that.
I've heard that you can insert a thick piece of mulberry branch into
the ground and it will root. I've never had the opportunity to try it!
