Pakistan Mulberry fruit production

(1/3) > >>

denisedecker:
How much fruit production can I expect in lbs. per year from a Pakistan Mulberry from a fully mature tree in a 50-gallon pot?  Where I live, I have to grow in pots (state law) even to do something as simple as selling fruit at farmers' markets. 
Thanks.

growinginphoenix:
Really? What state law is that?

denisedecker:
Arizona - if you plant in the ground, you need to have water rights, which are unaffordable.  If you were to use your well, you would need to apply for surface water rights.  However, you can buy water, and as long as they are in pots, you can get a business license.  And yes, you need a business license to sell at farmers' markets.
This is probably not the most realistic endeavor I've ever taken, so I'm trying to figure out how many years it would take to break even.

growinginphoenix:
Hm... I'm in Phoenix on an irrigated lot that used to be farm land. I wonder if I have water rights.

More on topic, will Pakistan really grow in pots long term? My neighbor's tree is more than twice the size of their house.

denisedecker:
The lot was probably grandfathered in on as a surface water rights (or something like that).  I like the government to be out of my life as much as possible, so if you're not farming... not sure.
So is your neighbor's mulberry tree, planted in the ground or in a pot?
