i LOVE mulberries
a few years ago, i had a tree volunteer itself in my yard
i had no idea what it was, but, i needed something to shade the house from the sun there...
i let it grow and found it was a mulberry.
the fruit was pretty poor, but, i figured i hadnt paid any attention to it,
so, i pruned it, and fed it
the next year, it produced wonderful fruit.
pretty sure its a RED, they are the supposed wild ones here.
Now, i want something to graft to it.
i have someone sending me PAK cuttings
they are also sending (i hope) cuttings from the "native" mulberry
which they say is everbearing
(They are in Fla)
i would like to root 2 of the cuttings
and graft the rest to my tree.
is this possible ? to root cuttings from a Pakistan rtee ?
also...
if anyone has a tasty black i can get some cuttings from
i can pay shipping. (or trade - i have other stuff too)
My Red is 20ft tall, i can graft a lot to it.
the PIC is of a cutting i rooted from my RED
its in a greenhouse and is flowering / fruiting now
its about 1 ft tall!
cheers
