Mulberry, fast recovery.

It was a month ago that we pruned the mulberry plant heavy and low. 
Now the branches shoot up to about 3 feet with ripe berries. 
I call that "fast recovery".


Mulberry: the stems were pruned heavy and low a month ago

Mulberry, a real fast recovery.

    1. Yes in a pot...... so far mulberry cope with pruning well. In fact pruning is necessary because branches tend to grow too long.

    1. lotusleaf... yes, it was rather fast. We also pruned down croton, but that one just let out tiny shoots....

  4. My mulberry tree is not happy.

    Right now, it has no leaves. It's waiting for the warmer weather to leaf out (that's what it did last year). Then some bug eat up all the leaves! Yikes.

    It's a grafted Black Beauty mulberry, and it had been in a large pot for years before I rescued it from a local plant nursery and planted it out in my yard.

    1. Helena, I never realised mulberry comes in many varieties.... We bought one many years ago, had been propagating many as giveaways to friends and family members, and yet I don't know the specific variety.

  6. Wow mulberry in a pot. That's a nice idea. I would love to try that. If I manage to buy mulberry in my country.

    1. Leanan..., we treat mulberry as ornamental with occasional bonus in form of berries.... so the plant stays in pot.
