I’ve successfully top-worked a couple of mulberries, but they were about 2"-3" in diameter, not 12".

Graft the most vigorous of the suckers after cutting it down, or cut the tree to a stump and graft to a straight shoot from that the following year. Or do both and see which establishes the most quickly.
The only way you are likely to get a graft growing on a tall vigorous tree is by grafting really high, which just isn’t practical- especially on a mulberry, which is a pretty trashy shortlived tree. .

Разве проблема привить за кору черенком? Не важно какой большой ствол подвоя, за кору вы всегда привьете и конечно после уменьшения давления сока!
Mulberries (at least in my experience) would rather sent up suckers/new shoots rather than push growth from a graft placed on a stump. i’ve tried 3 times to graft to a 2 foot tall stump and they’ve all dried and died. In the same time it has pushed suckers to more than 10 feet each year. (and this is with me cutting back to try and get the energy into the grafts)

Anyone growing Morus nigra in your region? To me it is the best tasting mulberry

Top worked mature mulberry in this old experiment many years ago as an example. It is not as easy as some trees but it is also not that hard. You might read through parts of the thread that help you.

Обычные садоводы из разных стран меняются черенками на свой страх и риск! Честь и хвала им!
I frequently graft mulberries when the top dies and only the rootstock thrives. I use a simple splice graft on about a pencil sized sucker and do two or three grafts on the largest suckers coming from the ground. At worst only one will take, but the average is probably 70% success rate. I do so at first signs of growth. The only variety I’ve used is Illinois Everbearing. It seems to be the best cold weather mulberry.

It is settled. I will cut the tree down and graft to a root stock sucker in the spring. (If I can find scion).
Does anyone want shangri-la scions?

Sounds weird, but in Russian one of the mulberry plant names is the same word as for “here”
Тут (toot) means “mulberry” and also means “here”.

Good plan. I graft to suckers on my large trees after I cut it back to 2-3ft tall. I noticed if the trunk diameter is larger than about 3" then top grafting the cut tree doesn’t heal as nice and the graft will not fuse into one smooth trunk after it heals in a few years. I’m cutting down 5 large trees myself (trunk diameter of 5"-10").
When you are ready to graft the new variety, you can send me a message and I might be able to help you out.
