RE: Propagating Red Mulberry Trees From Hardwood Cuttings
PERFECT timing! WE are moving house this coming week and I have neglected to take cuttings from our endlessly fruiting and prolific mulberry tree. AM ON IT! Most things grow like a weed here so am hopeful. Thanks for the detailed post and pro tips. Am very much enjoying learning from you, esp about propagation.
That's great!! You can also take cuttings of hardwood in the late fall/early winter and stick them in the ground 2/3 buried before the ground freezes and they should root by the next spring. Maybe try both approaches :) You can store cuttings in the fridge in a ziploc with a few drops of water to keep moist for 2-5 months fyi. Good luck! Take a bunch of cuttings in case some don't root !
The fridge tip is useful - yes, good idea! We don't have winter or spring here in tropical Thailand, and mulberries grow like weeds. I am putting in about 20 hardwood cuttings today. :)
Woohoo!! Good luck! I hope most/all of them take for you :)
