Glad we have a Mulberry Thread. I was just thinking about these today - there are a few wild trees in walking distance to me that bear tasty fruits. I agree that for the average person, at least in Tennessee, mulberries are not on their radar screen.I really want to try to propagate these wild trees. I tried a couple years ago when I was even more ignorant than I am now, and they didn't root.Any tips are welcome but I don't want to hijack this thread.
Guys, don't let cuttings make fruit. Snip that stuff off. All energy needs to be diverted to making roots.

Amazing how many i had to take off. But for curiosity sake, would the fruit developed had i left them on and would the quality be any good?
So I almost killed my Pakistan mulberry cuttings which already started keves by putting it outside. And later again revive one which started leaves with some fruits alond with it. Wondering should I remove fruits along with leaves or just fruits so it can send it's energy in roots?
I read somewhere that Mulberry roots are invasive. Is it so? I wonder if I can control the size of the tree, will this also limit the roots' invasiveness as well?
