A friend of mine has a white mulberry tree. Is it possible to cut off a
small branch and root it? If so, how?

Asiatic White mulberry (morus alba) hybridizes with the native red
mulberry (morus rubra). Eventually red mulberries will be wiped out
if the hybridizing continues. White mulberries were originally
introduced to the continent in a botched and abandoned attempt at
creating a silkworm industry.

It would be recommended to search for and purchase red mulberry trees
from a respectable nursery or garden center, rather than spreading an
exotic invasive.
