Mulberries-when do they start to fruit?
Comments (9)How long have you had these trees? I would say probably three years is a good average to begin bearing for a grafted or cutting grown tree, probably more like 5 for seedlings. It will depend on cultural conditions, too. If they have grown to five feet tall in their first season, I would say conditions are good for them. If, OTOH, these are four or five years old and they are only five feet tall, something might be wrong with the site or other environmental/cultural factors, and that could have a negative impact on fruiting. Bottom line, if they are relatively young and growing well, I'd give them a few more years. If you've had them four or five years, something is possibly or probably wrong, and not necessarily the fault of the sender. However, you won't know for sure until either they fruit OR you decided it's been so long that it's hopeless. Good luck....See MoreDo you have a Mulberry Tree in Tucson?

Comments (5)I do not think that the Persian Mulberry will be more successful but everybody seems to think they are the most tastiest Mulberry of them all . LOL .. (I actually never tasted one!) By the way, most of them are not getting enough sun but two of them (get at least 8-10 hours off full sun .. but they don't grow enough (possible reason could be (1) I don't feed properly (2) Do not have the right type pollinators (3) Male species(?) So, I was thinking I could graft the well known type (and since I have couple of them available to take cutting from) and see if that gives me better result. Since last year, I started to feed this plant I was considering as rootstock...See MoreWhat to do with mulberries?
Comments (4)I would gather and freeze if you have the space. You can decide later what to do with them. Wine sounds good. I haven't worked with Mulberries, but I would think you could follow a blackberry recipe. Deanna...See Moreemmarene9
