In Rawalpindi, Pakistan where I grew up,in our neighborhood literally every house had some kind of Mulberry tree in the front or back yard loaded with fruit. While growing up we would take a break from playing outside to pick and eat Mulberries, recharge us and back to playing again. Moved to Texas when I was still in high school and I am 59 years old now. Your video reminded me of the good old days. Would love to have a few on our land I wonder if Pakistani Mulberry would grow here in West Texas?

Thank you for the response. Always glad to get good positive feedback especially when something I post reminds you of your childhood. You should be able to grow where you are as long as you water heavily the first year. Right now I am battling deer with our drought. They are demolishing them. Good luck and thanks again.

Precise, clear, and energetic instructions and demonstration, very useful! I have a Pakistani mulberry tree, which I got as a gift from my friend about a year ago. It is tall, thin and has part of its trunk bare with a heavy leafy top, like a mop. It is June, and it's very hot in Florida now. Can I cut the top off now or wait till winter? I would like to keep it short. I hate hurting this tree, though😢

If I were you I would get a few one gallon nursery containers and fill with dirt. cut the tree to the desired height ( just above a node) and then make numerous cuttings and put in soil. That way you have the height you want ( and it will bush out) and you can give the clippings to friends. Hope this helps. have a great week

Great video! I had a Pakistan mulberry with those same markings on it a couple years back. Looks like a tissue culture lab that supplies major distributors was using tissue from a tree with an unknown virus. Eliza Greenman made a few posts about it on social media that brought it to my attention. I ended up destroying the trees as I didn't want it to spread to my other mulberries. Sorry for the bad news!

@Stewart Farm & Apiary Interesting! Could be a virus that's just "out there" and it might be a futile battle at this point. Since the tissue culture lab was a supplier to major nurseries it's been distributed widely. Appears some growers are just living with it as it doesn't seem to effect fruit, and others are pulling them up and destroying. Have seen people posting in Mulberry groups with it in other mulberries as well now. So not just a Pakistan issue. Either way... enjoyed the video!

What is the best way to winter prune these trees? I have one that has generated about 25 separate trunks from the very bottom at ground level. I don't know what to do with them! They are basically all single trunks that grow tall with no branches.
@StewartFarmApiary
Жыл бұрын
Okay - I have had this problem as well. just prune the tops. Don't be afraid to do this even during growing season. You will see them start to bush out. It can also be that your roots in the bottom are not expanding out. Many times the roots in the ground will be just as expanded as the ones on top that are branches. My master gardener instructor told us that a tree on top should look exactly as the roots underground. Put down some compost at bottom and don't just limit to the trunk. Spread it out a good amount at the base and see if that helps. Thank you for the feedback.

@StewartFarmApiary
2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the message. I had about a 80% success rate. I went a little harder on the scraping because I was using the root hormone. In my experience, I have found that they root better when scraped a little more. I am going to be trying another method soon and plant to do a video - this will be simply cutting a section from the new sprouted leaves and putting directly in a compound to root. this is even an easier way to start cuttings. I hope this helps.

Hi Sir, excellent video, really appreciate for demonstrating step by step. I have a question regarding re-routing the mulberry plant from the twigs. I purchased 10 twigs last year and followed the same procedure as you demonstrated. What I noticed by creating a green house, the twigs caught fungus and started to disintegrate and eventually died. Any suggestion or solution to this.

Great question. I actually did exactly what you are talking about at first also. I took the top off the tree and propagated it. It will force some sprouts at the bottom in perfect conditions and you can cut them off to make for propagation or allow it to bush out so you can pick easier.

I will cut the main branch once the tree starts to form leaves and there is no risk of frost. This will allow of offshoots that will form more branches. You may want to plant another nearby to help with pollination. Also, if you are using a high nitrogen fertilizer and not as much phosphorus, it will cause growth but now fruit. Just an idea.

That more than likely is just a mineral deficiency. I see that a lot with newly planted trees that are put into new soil. Most of the time it works itself out.
