Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Mulberry pruning to induce fruit doesn't seem to work

Kevin, when you say your branches are loaded, are you meaning the new branches grow fruit along their entire length? The picture you sent seems to show only fruiting at the bud break for the new branches. I’m thinking you guys are right and that I need to keep more old wood. I see so many people saying to cut back super hard but the tree really doesn’t seem to like fruiting on new wood so there must be something I’m missing. These guys did go dormant last winter but I also cut them back way far to like 10 stems so I’ll just leave them be this year instead and see if they fruit better on these giant shoots.
