planting mulberry
Thanks, after reading all the posts, I have decided to replant the
tree out in the easement behind our backyard, so hopefully the birds wont become a nuisance! 2 more questions, the roots seem to go down quite a bit, ~ 2 feet down in the ground, the root is still about .25 to .5 inch thick. It is right next to a wall, so I can only dig from one side. Do I need to uproot it fully for the tree to grow or can cut the plant with 2 feet of root and replant it? Also, if I leave some of the root behind, and fill earth back on top of it, will remaining root die out eventually? -kn "Wayfarer" wrote in message gy.com... I had a mulberry in Kansas -- yes they are messy but so is any fruit tree. The berries are sweet -- I like better than raspberries -- and the tree produces lots! I used to make pies and they make great jelly/jam. I wouldn't mind a tree! -- Marta (if you email me directly you need to remove the X ) "kn125" wrote in message om... I have a tree growing very close to my house, a neighbour identified it as a mulberry and said he wouldnt recommend replanting the tree (it now about 4-5 feet tall and the roots have gone 2-3 ft deep). He said it attracts lots of bugs. I have some space in my backyard and was thinking of replanting this tree there. Has anybody had bad/good experiences with mulberries? Also is it native to this area? Thanks. -kn |
