Thanks John for your kind offer! You have email! I'm happy to pay postage if you respond with your email address so I can pay through Pay Pal. I will try to root them in my greenhouse along with the fig cuttings I root. I don't have a mulberry tree on which to graft them, and would hate to take a chance on grafting to a fig tree... Same family, but too different I think! Wish me luck! Looking forward to receiving them! Suzi

Wow, I guess there are more people trying this than I thought... thanks for the replies. I also tried in vain for several years to root hardwood cuttings from various mulberry trees in pots inside. Then last year I collected a giant "water sprout" which was much thicker than the pencil size which is so often recommended in the literature, but more like finger thickness. I also used much longer pieces, over 12 inches. I got 100% rooting success with pure perlite in gallon pots covered with a clear plastic dome. I had them in my sunroom on a seedling heat mat for the colder nights. It may just have been the particular tree I collected from, but I'm betting the large size of the cuttings, perhaps combined with the heat mat, made them root well. In any event, I collected from the same tree for this current experiment, using mostly same year large shoots, along with one or two with older wood. I also did mulch heavily with straw as glib suggested. I hope one of us at least has some success to report this spring! ps. apparently this type of rooting cuttings is routinely done by some people with pomegranate, and an appropriate soil mix is first put into the ground where the cutting is to go (see the recent post about rooting pomegranate on this forum)

I have a black mulberry that I can take cuttings from. PM me with how you want them cut and prepared for shipping. I don't need any plants or seeds.

I am looking for northern varieties of pecan scion and mulberry seedlings or cuttings.
