My IE can grow to 15+ā and continue. It comes to a point that it is too tall for me to prune even stand on a ladder. It is not easy to spray, or pick any mulberries. So this is what I did this Easter Sunday. I think it is better way than prune the branches. The mulberris should be easier to pick this summer.
I just used grocery bag with few stones inside to weight down the branches.
I did that too. You can also drive stakes and tie them down. Iām trying to create the umbrella, but these things just want to reach for the sky.
Yes, they like to grow up right, 4-5ā a season. The more I prune the more branches it grows back. I am really tied of standing on a tall ladder and prune it every year. By weight down the bigger branches, it is easier and low to reach the new grow branches. I just need to remember to weight them down later summer/early fall.
What does the tree need to be sprayed for?
Fungicide to control Popcorn disease
