Collapsing Mulberry Tree
I have a couple of mublberry tree cuttings which seem to be growing to
quickly for their own good the weight of leaves are making the main stem bend downwward then the tip of course tries to grow up so the thing looks like an S on its side. Should I cut it back? feed in more/less? they ares in pots at the moment. I don't want to tie it up because that might make the problem worst or is that the best solution until it loses its leaves. Regards Bruce |

g'day bruce,
sounds like they'll need some staking it won't make problems worse. or lighten the leaf load do a prune, might have to do a bit of both. i ahve 2 int eh ground one about 2 meters high lots of foliage and they were being blown over they are still only young trees so i have staked them to keep them up right until i can prune and the root sytem gets stronger. i've had to do this sort of things for a number of young trees sooner or later they grow strong and the stakes can be removed. le snipped -- happy gardening 'it works for me it could work for you,' "in the end ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do" but consider others and the environment http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gardenlen1/ my e/mail addies have spam filters you should know what to delete before you send. |

If staking is done, here is an industry excepted staking dive. Non
