Here in Australia everyone had a mulberry tree,years ago. Birds eat and drop the fruit so it was a bit messy sometimes. At an old homesite there was a huge one. The fruit was black and delicious.

I would put loquats in this category of foolproof fruit trees for your yard. And both so delicious! And I agree, if someone tells you not to plant a mulberry, just no, you don't need that type of negativity! :-D

[@TheChenny73]

Especially the Big Jim variety.

[@APage-hn6cz]

My two year old mulberry gave me 20 pounds of fruit. It's almost overwhelming. I think I need one of the white varieties.

[@whitetuberose2782]

Can you tell male from female early? Or prior to flowering/fruiting?

[@mjt2582]

Simply stunning tree. Agree on every front

[@studiokohl1]

I had 3 mulberry (2 white, 1 red) trees at a home we owned in Wisconsin and they were great, wish they were all the red. My grandmother had a mulberry, fig and pepper tree at her home here in Phoenix (44th st & camelback) in the 60's thru early 80s.. We would climb and eat off the mulberry tree, She also had a pecan that she wouldn't let us near. It was like she had trip wires to let her know we were getting close to it. My other grandmother had a little plum tree orchard 48th st and McDowell, (from 1950s through early to mid 70s) We had to go pick them once a year for her and her polish friends to can and freeze. We had navel orange, pink grapefruit and a tangerine tree in our yard(44th st and Osborn) that was citrus central back in the day. Almost anything south of camelback had been citrus.

[@shashakeeleh5468]

I think you answered my question as to whether Mulberry will handle a hard freeze over a weeks time. Thanks!

[@studiokohl1]

@shashakeeleh they really do great anywhere andvthey have many varieties My husband and I had 3 huge mulberry trees at a home I had in Wisconsin (Brookfield) to be exact. We had a white purple and I think there Is one that doesn't make berries. I can't remember Yes, it gets down to -35... -27, -18, on a regular basis there. Being a native desert dwelling Phoenician my whole life, except for summers from 1976 to 1983 when we had a summer business and a play ranch for my step father. It should have come down to my step brother and I but the step father( S.F. ) sold t he little 10 acres we love to get a 760 acre ranch East of bozeman Montana. Someone offered him almost 3 times what we paid so, then....we bought a different ranch, small by Montana standards at 620 acres. Now we have nothing. Hewas a horrible business man. My step brother and I miss the little 10 acres much. We had the money to buy it as well. 50k. Now we are old (im 56 he is 58) and reminisce. It is so dry in most of Montana it's hard to keep things growing some years. I will take az now. Never had a desire to shove frozen pool water.

[@panoskar8952]

What do you mean when you are talking about 'proper watering' ?

[@trolltracker]

search his other videos. varies based on your conditions (mainly: local heat and soil), time of year, size of plant, so on... generally, during dry spells, water every week when the tree is young (less than 3 years/10 feet tall). In my experience they're good to go after that. Don't fret when they drop their leaves, of course.

It is what it is. Perhaps one day I'll be able to drive out to your nursery. I'm in no hurry, as my goal is to grow a permaculture/food forest on my 1.25 acre. Working from the ground up and in sections. I do have 3 mulberries here. My husband thought I was crazy for jumping of joy when we bought the property and I found out we had these mulberries here already 😁.

I (had) a container mulberry.. and it came out of dormancy with healthy green leaves... until something happened and all the leaves died.. I scratched the bark and it is green as can be! But all the new leaves died.. I took it out of the container and looked at the roots.. no new white roots, there all brown and not healthy... or it could be there just old roots? .. could it be root rot? Idk.. I am sad my mulberry probably died .. ... it lasted a year grew 5 feet in one session. But now it’s in jeopardy 😔 The big Texas freeze (-2 degrees Fahrenheit here) might had something to do with it.. it may have damaged the roots back then and it can’t get nutrients and it’s Dying because of it? or it could possibly be root rot .. the soil was pretty wet so it’s a possibility but the roots didn’t fall apart and they went squishy so Idk what it could be... But maybe there’s still hope? What do you think?
