Himalayan mulberry scions
« on: July 16, 2020, 10:18:14 PM »
4$ each, minimum 4 pieces.   

Postage:
4$ for first class mail 3-5 day
8$ for priority mail 2-3 day

It's a long skinny redish purple fruit.  These can be grafted now during heat no problem. Easy to graft.

This is not my photo but it's what fruit look like

Can this type be rooted from cutting?

No idea if they root, I never tried.  The tree was grafted when I got it.  And I have grafted many other types onto it and Kaz has grafted my sticks onto many of his trees.  So it is graft compatible with everything we tried so far but I have no idea about rooting it.

These are one of the few that can't seem to root. Even airlayering seems tough.
In the nursery trade in FL I only seen them grafted (and that's if your lucky enough to find one).
That's probably one of the reasons why it's hard to find.

If you do manage to root it please share the details with us though.

My tree was grafted when I bought it. 

Im out of scions now, will have more in a few months.  Maybe in spring if its too late in the years, Ill wait to sell them.  Thry need the heat to grow.

Brad's Red Himalayan variety is a vigorous tree, my grafts are all very nice, lots of branches, grows 6-10ft in a year if you graft to a large in ground tree. This year (now) all my grafted branches are holding many green fruits so I will be able to taste more fruits that should be full size fruits for me.

Wow Kaz your tree looks great, congrats.  Hopefully Brad responds and I can get a few cuttings.  I would love to add this variety to, we have a drawf everbearing tree we were just about to dig up.  Hopefully we can convert it into something great.

Nice, I have a male wild mulberry that grew about 10 feet last year. I am planning to bark graft Himalayan scion on it. I am hoping if I can find few Himalayan varieties to graft on it before it gets into 90 degrees here in Houston.

Kaz is this the one you sold last year.
The one with big leaves?

Seanny, yes it is.

It's funny that when it comes out of dormancy, and then starts to fruit on all the branches, the leaves are still small like in the photos. After the fruits are all done, during the summer the leaves just keeps growing very large and stays that way until it drops in the winter.

Here's some old photo of my trees from Brad.

I actually went and looked for good pieces for people and my tree is already leafed out so no scions now sorry.  Also a lot of people were asking for it.  I dont really want to hackmup the tree that much either.  If you have extras people want them Kaz.  You can sell them on my thread, I dont care.

Brad, all my trees have leafed out and have lots of fruits so I won't be cutting any until after the fruits are done.

Grafting it seems like a great idea. I plan on making a cocktail Mulberry tree with my dwarf everbearing. I do like showing people how to grow plants from cuttings using it since it roots so easily.

Red Himalayan and White Pakistan do not root easily. I have not been able to get any cuttings to root. You need to graft these two varieties.

Mulberries have such vastly different growth rates and dormancy timings that I'd be hesitant to make a cocktail tree. I grafted some of Kaz's Himalayan Red mulberry scions onto a thai dwarf mulberry last year and they've grown so long and large that I'm worried about the otherwise solid graft union breaking.

Yes, the Himalayan (from Brad) is a vigorous tree, so you need to top it every year to keep it from overtaking the rootstock. I also have a few grafted on my Thai Dwarf and it is fine as long as I cut it back each year. The ones I grafted on the Black Pak is huge, branches are larger than the Black Pakistan branches on the same tree.

It is vigorous as Kaz and Brad said.   I grafted it onto sixth street rootstock, and an everbearing tree from Home Depot and growth is very fast.    Nice cultivar
