Does anyone know if the “Persian” mulberry from Fruitwood is M. nigra?
I ordered a bundle of them when my seedlings proved to be alba, and to my untrained eyes the buds did look right. I grafted a few on my available albas (mixture of Russian seedlings and rooted cuttings) and decided to try to root a few by placing them in water in a dark, warm place. After a week they were forming lots of callus bumps on the bark and the buds were starting to break, so I put them in soil under a humidity dome (i.e. a clear plastic drip tray) in the greenhouse.
Here’s one bud I did yesterday :
And the cuttings I’m trying to root, photos from when I put them in soil yesterday:
