Mulberry trees! The number 1 Fruit tree for building a food forest and microclimate! 10 lbs a day!

[@edjo3430]

I grew up in Iran. My house was next to a public park with 40 plus giant persian white mulberry trees. Government there plants fruit trees in the public parks for free community use. I live in California now. I'm planning on planting them here but we have many gophers. That's why I asked in my earlier post.

[@wildrootspodcast]

Just planted the mulberry I got from you! I’m looking forward to watching it grow. A video of when and how to prune the mulberries would be dope!

[@trinhzphotography350]

The leaves are also incredible for eating. They are 20% protein. We use them in Soups, Salads, and i also use them to make Sirloin Garlic Soy Rolls. Nutritious and Delicious.

[@CarlHanson65]

That's the nastiest thing I've ever heard

[@inmybible6975]

​@@CarlHanson65 You've never heard of someone eating salad?

[@MaLiArtworks186]

I will try it!

[@ultraculture1]

Awesome Mulberries! We have a dozen mulberry trees around our house and around our horse coral. The horse love eating the leaves. We make a healthy tea from the mulberry leaves as well. My wife makes and cans a lot of jam from the tons of berries we get each year! Awesome stuff!

[@cactuscannon]

Love our Shangri La mulberries. They taste amazing!!!

[@MaLiArtworks186]

Can you dehydrate the mulberry fruit?

[@bobmcallister8028]

Hey Jay - garden looks awesome! Can’t wait to get some more trees from you.

[@Love-is-the-answer]

I got a Shangri la mulberry last fall because of your videos. I am excited to see it grow this summer.

[@Love-is-the-answer]

Do you sell your fruit trees nationwide?

[@ArizonaFruitTrees]

@@Love-is-the-answer not yet, im slammed locally!

[@fionnaitsradag5152]

Planting them everywhere to feed to my chickens.😄

[@micachi1693]

I got two mulberries from you in September. I was just looking at them today and thinking how big they've gotten since then.

[@chessman483]

I’ve got 430 mulberry trees growing. No idea what I will do with them all. Plant some , trade some sell some and give some away I guess.

[@harsectinal]

You should get a thermometer to actually measure the temperature difference.

[@JohnPhilpott-q5k]

How come I never heard you say sangrala tree. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Lol 😂I thought I was going to loose my mind

[@capnslufox]

My three year old everbearing has given me over 15 pounds. Scrambling to use them all

[@ArizonaFruitTrees]

They freeze for a year

[@MaLiArtworks186]

​@ArizonaFruitTrees Can we dehydrate the fruit?

[@diogo23duraes]

Hi Jay, big fan of your work, im from Portugal and watch your videos for some years trying to replicate all that you teach. It seems that your garden change a bit, has if have less trees or something. How about you do a tour video?? Really miss seeing your garden !!

[@michellezevenaar]

I'm in the Netherlands and just planten a tree 2 years ago. This year it looks like I'm getting fruit. It's only been in leaf for about a month so will be a while before they are ripe

[@marschlosser4540]

Everything is late this year, thanks to all the cold fronts that came in from Cali. Mind birds. If I lived in town, it would be white mulberries, not black or red. I keep hearing mulberries are banned in town, but a lot of people have males (major pollen producers) in their front yards. Mine are all self-fertile. We have 1 mature black Pakistan, and 3 immature everbearing. Birds are all freaked out about the berries, but thanks to the wind, cannot hang on limber branches LOL.

[@champagnegardening5182]

I have very tiny trees. The Everbearing and World's best. Now is want a Shangri La. Need to find a nursery in Florida. I like the weeping tree look

[@rodrigobalibalita12]

I have plenty of them in my backyard. Kept all of them in about 6 feet in height. They produce hundreds of sweet fruits similar to blackberries but smaller in size. The tree is quite easy to propagate. The one I got are dwarf everbearing mulberries.

[@ank1700]

I don't understand what are you saying because my mulberries taste like multi flavored sugar syrup and blackberries taste like lemon.. 😂 Also my mulberry fruits are about 6 inches long .

[@charlesfoster8814]

I have a odd situation. I believe i have one of the fruitless varieties of Mulberry. It is root bound with a huge white oak. It basically growing right out of the trunk of the oak. I live in SE Texas, there are numerous wild Mulberry trees in my area. They are growing in the fence lines along the roads. They are easy to spot, deer are under them everyday. Thats how ive found them. Here is my thoughts. Im trying to air layer my fruitless Mulberry, once i have it going, i want to graft the native Mulberry to my tree! What ca' think?

[@trinhzphotography350]

You'll need to look online if that is possible. Fruitless usually that it is a male. Only the females provide fruit.

[@xmarksthespot7708]

Awesome video! What do you do with all that fruit?! Have you considered selling it somehow? taking it to a farmer's market or something?

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

thanks Jay!

[@ShahnazBenSelma]

How long is take the tree to gives fruit?

[@charlesedwarddavisjr.6022]

From cuttings how long for it to produce fruit?

[@kqdwills]

The second year as the earliest.

[@randbasic]

I’d love to grow a ShangriLa I wish they had a dwarf version of it. I know they have other dwarf mulberries but I heard the flavor is lacking on them. Any suggestions for a dwarf mulberry variety that tastes great? Thanks for the video!

[@ArizonaFruitTrees]

i dont like the dwarf fruit, it is possible to prune it to the ground every year on the big trees

[@randbasic]

@@ArizonaFruitTrees yeah maybe I’ll try that. I just wanted to keep the fruit within reach. I also saw a “weeping” mulberry where the branches go straight down. Thanks for the tips and info!

[@margaretmarshall3645]

I have what was supposed to be a Persian mulberry but which I’m pretty sure is a dwarf everbearing. It’s grown fast and has abundant small black fruits, but yeah quite bland. I’ve now grafted Shangri-La and Jan’s Best scions onto it and hopefully the dwarf rootstock besides being already established will also keep the other varieties from getting too big, with the help of pruning. But even the “dwarf” everbearing mulberries grow fast and get pretty tall without pruning, I gather.

[@johnndavis7647]

Mullberries are not really sweet if you eat them right off the tree. But if you put a bowl of berries in the fridge overnight they will get sweeter.

[@mymind2653]

Hello, I have learned so much from you thank you , I’m in Las Vegas and going to try plum mango any advice on how to start ,thank you in advance

[@a_mustache_of_great_repute]

Planting 4 dwarfs for wine. If you don't know what to do with all of them... ;)

[@tigrlily]

Hi Jay. Great video. Do the mulberries need male and female? Does the ShangriLa accept zone 9A.? Id like to make a trip up this weekend to get at least one. Do you ever deliver to north Tucson region? Thanks for all the great info.

[@GreenJustin8]

Most mulberry trees are good down to zone 5 and Jay is 9B so you are definitely good to grow.

[@tigrlily]

@@GreenJustin8 thank you 😊

[@omaimaali5969]

Great video as usual. My pakistan mulberry has a lot of fruit on them this year too, but unfortunately the ants get to the fruit before I do. Do you have problems with ants too?

[@JamesEndo1]

Thanks for mulberry video! Can we grow mulberries in containers and not get so huge? I dont have a lot of space. Thanks!

[@donnastormer9652]

They do not do well in containers because they have a deep large taproot that needs to go into the ground, but you can plant it in ground and keep it trimmed to the size that you want it and it will actually help it produce more fruit

[@JamesEndoSanJoseCARealEstate1]

Oh OK, I'd only like a 6-8 ft tree max so it doesnt sound realistic to grow a mulberry tree. Thanks.

[@lukeott58]

Do you sell cuttings of mulberry? Can you grow them from a cuttings or do you need to graft them to a specific root? I’m in zone 8a Virginia.

[@DonaldDouglasJr]

My tree has fruit like yours but then it has sort of clusters with 80-100 in a space of about a square foot. They don't get very big and don't taste sweet. Should i prune those "clusters" out?

[@ArizonaFruitTrees]

is it an everbearing?

[@crystalstanley916]

Do you think the Shangri-La Mulberry would grow well in Flagstaff?

[@kqdwills]

Yes.

[@charlesedwarddavisjr.6022]

How much for some cuttings?

[@robertobautista866]

How big it get... i have very little space 😂😂 😢 thank you

[@ArizonaFruitTrees]

BIG

[@fionnaitsradag5152]

You can keep them small via pruning. But they grow back fast! (Which is a good thing, in my opinion. Lots of deer where I live; so I like things that can grow back after being nibbled on.)

[@martinjursa3622]

What variety of mulberry is on your video?

[@mbaksrihokyberkah3458]

Alhamdulillah panen murbei

[@edjo3430]

Are gophers a problem with this tree? How about deer?

[@max.perdiem]

For me, the gophers/squirrels/chipmunks don’t bother it too much. But I had to put wire around the tree to keep the deer from eating it or rubbing the bark off. After a few years when the tree was bigger I took the wire away with no problem.

[@Pamsgarden213]

When is the best time to prune mulberries?

[@ArizonaFruitTrees]

Winter and summer

[@Pamsgarden213]

@@ArizonaFruitTrees , I have two main trunks in one hole and I think I have to cut one out so the tree can get nice and thick. I just want to make sure I do it at the right time.

You didn’t cover literally the most important part - what are the differences in the fruit taste/juice/texture etc…
