5 Reasons To Plant A Mulberry Tree! 

Love this video! Mulberries do stain, but if I had my live to live over again, I'd wear old clothes more often and eat mulberries whenever I could! Life is short. Don't miss out on the pleasure of multberries.

You should do an update on your mulberry tree man. Show how it grew, looks like you posted it almost 2 years ago

2 year ago i needed solid poles for my barbed wire, wooden poles were easy to break and galvanized steel is expensive in Pakistan so i planted about 70 mulberries (all drip irrigated) for supporting the barbwire. Can't be more happy 😊

Growing up as a kid in New Delhi, India, we had a big mulberry tree near our house. I used to spend a large time of my free time climbing the tree, sitting in it and eating the fruits. It had the most delicious and long (4 inches) fruits. Even the green (unripe) fruit was tasty - a bit tangier than the red/black ripe versions - I loved it. I even loved the taste of the leaves - if you have never eaten it, do give it a try - they are quite edible. The friends used to compete to see who could climb the highest, or get to the most inaccessible fruits - the parents used to think that one of us is going to fall from the tree one of these days (but surprisingly, never discouraged us from climbing). A week ago, I ran across a Mulberry tree in a Lowe's in the Bay Area... I recognized it from the shape/texture of the leaves, and I absolutely had to buy it (didn't know until then that it was called Mulberry in English - its called Shahtoot in northern India). I got it today, and dug a big hole in the backyard to plant it (will do the actual planting tomorrow morning). Will also put in a drip irrigation pipe so the roots head downwards (thanks for that tip).

My next door neighbor has a mulberry tree in her yard near our fence . About the first week in June it gets its berries. I LOVE THEM! I think they're the best of all berries. They stain my fingers but I dont care.

LOVE Mulberry!! SO Glad it grows so quickly! Thanks for this video! 👏👌

Good video. I have one on the edge of my property in Taiwan. Been cutting it down to a stump not knowing what it was. It kept growing. Hired a backhoe to remove it and other stumps to organize a small orchard. Driver asked why I wanted to remove the 'mulberry'. Oh! Found your video. Now I'm keeping it. Just moved it more into my yard. Thanks for the information.

I totally agree with you. We have a mulberry tree on my grandma's garden, took a few cuttings to plant in my garden this year. We freeze the berries and eat them all year around. Very productive tree. One established does not need water at all (zone 9). Ranks in the top three in my opinion, along with loquat and apricot trees.

I wish I could find this vid earlier. I have mulberry planted several years ago (Texas) and it got freeze-killed every winter although new branches regrow the following year but it got weaker and weaker with thinner branches. This vid is very convincing and I need to plant more and do the correct way of watering.

I can't say how much I love mulberry trees!! My grandpa always make the fantastic juice for us. from Taiwan.

My mulberry fruit when ripe taste like bananas. I cut it back several times a yr to keep leaves from touching the eves. I save the branches with their big leaves. Leave them in my garage to dry. Then crunch up the leaves to make instant mulch. I have a small chipper shredder & shred the wood. No waste whatsoever. Don’t worry about fertilizing, you will barely be able to keep up with the growth as it is. I trim mine several times a yr. Get 2-3 large wheelbarrels full each trimming.

I just discovered today that I have 6 mulberries on my property. Woohooo!!

Growing up in Pakistan, we had all kinds of fruit trees in my parents' house. We had black mulberry, red mulberry, and the king white mulberry tree along with mango tree, guava tree, java plum tree, persimmon tree fig tree, and loquat tree. Great videos. Great videos BTW keep 'em coming.

Thank you for this information, I planted one in my garden. My buddy was like take this tree we found growing in a crack of a sidewalk and I keep it in a bucket just forgotten for about 4 years, it would never grow due to the roots not having room to grow but it stayed healthy for all those years. I finally decided to plant the poor tree and it is growing like crazy. But I need to know how to take care of it.

Well Said my brother and Explained thoroughly ❤️👍

They are very beautiful yellow in autumn

i just bought, 1.5 ft tall mulberry tree yesterday. i hope it will survive. I'm just a beginner. zero experienced. glad to find your youtube, give me some confidence.

Thanks for your words its useful

Best whine in the world is mulberry,I also make tea from the leaves and fruit, when the tree reaches the desired height and size just prune the roots to keep it there.

I read estimates all over the place when it comes to tree size but I know of one that a friend has that has to be between 70 and 80 feet tall. It is one of the most stunning and beautiful trees I've ever seen.

Dear garden nerd, I love your recipes from mulberries

thanks for the info! I really needed this video!!

I've planted them for myself and the birds. I like to provide forage for all the wild twitter-budgies.

Thank you for all of the helpful info! 🌸

I have a bunch of Mulberry trees They are good for making a hell of a mess, they attract wasps and hornets like crazy no way you're sitting under them or near them fruiting, all jokes aside they are great trees that provide you with plenty of berries.

I have one in a 25g container and it’s already fruiting but fruits are really small! Any suggestions? Thanks and awesome video!!!

Lovely! I grew up with mulberry tree our yard. I just can't wait to plant it where I live now. Your video was awesome. Thanks

Thanks so much for the info about mulberry.😀

Dear garden nerd, I am working on getting a peach tree

Thank you for this wonderful video!

I really liked the watering technique....thank you!

totally helpful! Thanks!

We have a white/light green Mulberry tree, it's my favorite tree on the property. The local wildlife loves it too!

My father had one year's ago i didn't know if they was still around thanks 🙏 !

I love growing mulberry trees and I'm in the New Mexico desert.

I also love mulberry tree tea...fresh or dried boil 5leaves for 1 1/2 cup of water....

Dear garden nerd, I have mulberry trees in my rock beds of my backyard

Im glad you are growing these trees in AZ. The world needs a lot more broad leaf trees, to sustain oxygen!..and of course all the other reasons you just mentioned :)

Be carful with those mulberry trees that close to you’re pool. I had an old one split my driveway in half. The big roots grew under and pushed up cement. They will break through a pool.

I recently bought a mulberry plant it’s the first time I am growing one I love the fruits an I am from Suriname 🇸🇷 it’s tropical 🌴 so I am so happy waiting to place it in the ground thank you for the information.

best video ever!

Aww what a cute video, well presented with eloquence and great tips. After this clip I now have fire in my feet to want to run a grab me a mulberry or two to plant in my backyard here in Houston TX.. So great going and looking forward to more informative videos. Bless!

Great video my mulberry tree comes in 2weeks! Thanks for the info

Awesome. Goin' to plant it very soon. Tks.

Thank you for the good info 👍

keep up the great content!

Smart watering tips for these.

Thank you that was a very good information

The house ive been renting for almost a year has a mulberry tree. I had no idea till my dog started eating them. I looked little closer at the fruit and realized what it was now im excited. Do people make jam or pies out of these?

I ate buckets full of mulberries in Tennessee, they're delicious :)

I just planted a mulberry for shade. I can't wait!! Great info.

I have a mulberry tree on the side of my house. It was either my great grandpa or a bird that accidentally grew it. It's been 3 years since it first grew so I can't wait to see what type of mulberry it is. 👀

Here we go 'round the mulberry bush still remember that song from my childhood.

my neighbor upstairs tried to cut a Mulberry tree out of the yard that appeared naturally; with a few harsh words I saved the trees' life, now its 12 ft tall and producing fruit after two years; I think the cardinals enjoy it too!! great video.... the more positive videos about trees the better off we'd all be and if everyone planted at least 1 in their lifetime.. PS his wife cut another out of the yard and a fern years earlier that would have been huge by now; some people are just selfish or ignorant I guess.. i saved some wild white Roses too. I planted 7 White Pine trees and a Blue Spruce sapling and a Cedar Tree sapling that I found growing in trash up the street on 1a...The yard is like a bird, squirrel sanctuary now.. i even saw a chipmunk ..once..long ps...lol..take care..

My silkworms love it 😂 the white one off course

Im learning more about gardening this year, and looking for potential seeds for my yard. Mulberry might be added.

Thanks for info...

Yes, the sun removes fruit stains. Also helps to have a pool with chlorine in it to splash away the stains

I have a bunch of mulberry tree's in my back yard. South Dakota

Thank you for this informative video. I am planting 4 mulberry trees on Monday. I’m doing a Permaculture.

You can make the best brandy from this fruit 😋

If people are worried about the ground mess and stained feet that come with these trees, then look at white mulberries! No stains, very little mess. I'm growing red and black mulberries in my chicken yard for them to clean up and eat in abundance, but a white mulberry out front where the side walk is.

Thank you for the great info. I just received a bare root Black Mulberry from Willis Orchards today (Feb 2/2021) & now I have to decide where to plant it. I was worried about the invasive roots - but if you have one 10 feet from your swimming pool, I don't think I have to worry about that any more.

Thank you 👍

Thank you

Second time watching this all through Thanks Got myself one now, so catching up on knowledge

Stains!?! Purple feet is a fond childhood memory! I encourage it for my grandchildren! I have one just to the north of my garden, right by the chicken pasture. The chickens love all the mulberries that fall in their pasture. My goats & cows love the branches I prune. Recently, I've learned about mulberry leaf tea. I'm eager to try it.😊

It's also packed with vitamins! It's a super food. you can also grow a grafted mulberry in a big pot. Ours is only about less than 6 feet tall and generously produces fruits all year round. ^_^ My one year old can easily reach for the fruits. He loves it!

I just bought my first mulberry plant

Wow only 3 years old, very tall🤩 I love mulberry fruit Thanks for sharing beautiful video 😊👍

I can vouch for the shade and the hardiness of this tree, during times of drought, especially. Our West-facing mulberry tree does not bear fruit; it is at least 45 years old, planted by my father to shade the living room windows and porch area. It was knocked over during Hurricane Alicia in 1983, and it, and a thirty foot sycamore tree were both set back into the ground by my father and two brothers. Hurricane Alicia gave it its slant to the North--it is a 'windswept' tree, indeed, and has been the subject of many admirers on their daily walks. It has survived tropical storms (Allison, for one), hurricanes (Alicia, Ike, and Harvey), ice storms, and two probable tornadoes, in addition to droughts past and current. I water it at night, or in the very early morning hours, every four days or so, for about an hour, due to the crisping of some leaves; may need more frequent waterings if this heat dome does not budge (Southeast Texas). Through the years, there have been branches, usually the smaller, thinner ones that fall, but others grow in their place. It remains green while other trees in the neighborhood appear to be yellowing; the palms are suffering--glad we never planted those. It grows taller and more luscious during our normal 'monsoon-like' spring and summer rainy stretches; this year has been the exception to the norm. By the way, our tree is nearly thirty-five feet tall since some trimming was done earlier this year.

Thank you very for you're video I learned about mulberry.

I’m thinking about planting one. Was gonna go with blackberries but will go with a mulberry dwarf everbearing I think. Could you please tell me whether you need to pick up all the berries when they start rotting on the ground? Do I need to pick all those up?

It's in India..I observe its fast growing tree for shade ..birds..cuckoo always come to taste its fruit...its simple tree growing without care..in 45 c..temperature..its give shade..so I love this tree!

Thanks for the encouragement from this video. I have a mulberry trees in my yard (containers) in nigeria. However they are not as big as this but they are fruiting. Do you have an idea of why they are not huge like yours?

Thanks man

#6 They are easy to propagate.

Mulberry agua fresca is delicious!

I have two dwarf everbearing, one Shangri la, and one illinois everbearing mulberries I just put into the ground this year. They chilled out for the first part of summer. Now they just exploded with 1.5 ft of growth after the heavy hurricane rain and cooler weather of the two weeks afterwards. This is in brick like clay!

Yea it really grows fast

Love your videos. Very informative, concise and entertaining. You asked for topics? I’d appreciate a video on how to identify different types of trees done in your entertaining style. Thank you!

Mulberries are so good

Just figured out I have a mulberry tree in my yard. Probably gonna get some berries from it, but probably need to cut it down this year as it's right on the fence line.

❤ beautiful video

Wow

New Arizona gardener here, and you have me so excited about the 3 little mulberries I just planted! Did you cut the bottom branches off as they started growing to make it grow into a tree instead of a bush?

reason no 6..the leaves are very high in nutrition and is used vastly for medicinal purposes

Same in nevada and the sun is brutal, I had gotten two mulberry trees from TyTy nursery one made it and you are right it is growing fast was a foot tall about two momths ago its 3ft now, love this tree, its a super berry, my pakistan is the one that never leafed . I cannot wait till mine is that big, out of 4 trees only one that made it, an olive, pecan and pakistan mulberry

Using the botanical definition of invasive species, the "invasiveness" of a plant/tree has nothing to do with it's root system. Plenty of trees have problematic roots whether they are native or non native. What makes a species invasive is it's ability to displace native flora/fauna. I'm pretty sure the tree in this video is White Mulberry. White Mulberry is recognized as noxious weed due to it's invasive growth habit in many states/provinces of North America. It doesn't seem to be recognized as such in Arizona. Probably can't thrive without human intervention with watering. I work in habitat restoration and invasive species removal, I've personally dealt with eradicating this in several areas where it has taken over in Minnesota. Because it extremely fast growing, it can outgrow pretty much anything, and is expensive to remove when they become mature trees. While the fruits are delicious to us and birds, they will spread them around via animal droppings making new infestations. While I understand your passion for this plants and desire to spread the word of the wonder of gardening, I believe this video has the potential to spread misinformation regarding the ability for this species to be invasive in certain areas. I would hate for someone to buy this plant (if they could find it) in an area where it does not belong and plant it in their yard. Habitat degradation is a very serious matter that not enough people take seriously. I would encourage others to do their own research to find out whether or not a plant is native to their area, and if it is not, what native alternatives exist. Here in Minnesota, we have the native Red Mulberry but it is very rare. I personally would never plant anything that isn't native to the area, but that's just me.

Cool video. I just realosed.i was looking for miriclal berries not mulberries. Either way I may use this in the future. There trees that grow berries like that by my house but the leaves look different.

Primarily I want a mulberry tree for the birds.

OSAM SUGESTION SIR. PLEASE MORE SUGESTION.

General rule. Water deep for everything. Trees, vegetables cactus.

Very informative and encouraging😁 have just planted my first mulberry😊

The white mulberry is not native and is invasive, as it interbreeds with our native red mulberry and affects the genetics. At least here in the eastern US. I have 3 mulberries 😉 Love them!

I subscribed!

i grow them because my cherry shrimps love them

Love this video! 💚 We have a mulberry tree on our orchard and Ive never seen so many berries in my life. The tree is a good 35+ feet tall and it does grow so fast! So how do we trim this back so we can get berries closer to the ground? The trunk is huge and the branches are very high. PS we are new to our home and our orchard so we had no idea when we moved in what to do with the tree. Can we reshape it and make the branches begin to grow lower on the tree? Thank you so much and looking forward to your response.

I plant them all over the property to feed the birds and a lot of different types of wildlife.

I got only 1 tree I would like to have 1 more, I love Pakistan mulberry too😊 Will get 1 more tree, but my one it’s in the pot, have to transfer them into the ground. Thanks for great advice 😊👍
