I've taken some cuttings and fruit from a local mulberry tree:

Ooh you make my mouth water. It is my favourite tree and I love the
fruit. I get excited when I discover a new one.
Were your seed sown last year? And your cuttings taken?
How big were the cuttings. I understand that mulberries root from
quite thick branches but have never had the chance to try.
I have one grown from a seed, on my allotment, in situ for 13 years
and about 5 years old when planted, and no sign of fruit yet. In fact
it looked a bit sickly this year, with smaller, yellowy leaves. Guess
I should feed it, I never have!!! It is in quite an exposed spot.
I also have a small one in a pot, purchased last year. Looks healthy
but only 18 inches.
I saw one once at a nursery, and was greatly tempted, but resisted.
The nursery was Hillhouse nursery!
Where is the one in the photo?
Good luck with your new trees.
