To followup on this thread, the mulberry is becoming a monster. It seems that grafting other varieties on has produced a tree which is growing in all directions at a rate I can’t contain. It’s now up over 12’ and 12’+ wide (not a good thing when it is in a row with 5’ spacing…
I hacked it back in one dimension already to protect my jujubes (they rank far higher than mulberries with me), but have waited until winter for the rest.
So, I’m going to remove all the non-Geraldi from the tree this winter.
Hopefully that will let it stay contained, as it used to be before I added the other varieties. If anyone wants scionwood, I’ll have it coming out my ears this winter.
