Mulberry planting results for several years

Mulberry planting results for several years

Commonly planted mulberry trees hang fruit three years later, and precocious ones take two years. Larger mulberry seedlings bear a small amount of fruit when they are planted and sprouted that year, but they mainly grow trees in the first year and cultivate good tree types. In the second year, there began to be more results, and in the third to fourth years, there was basically a high yield. The speed of entering high yield is different with different mulberry varieties.

Mulberry Tree Tips:

As usual, the first step in pruning is to cut off the dead, diseased and broken branches, which are usually gray and have no buds on them.

Cut off the upward branches as soon as you find them, because you have to maintain the drooping tree shape, because this kind of mulberry is made by grafting, and the grafting site is on the top, so it is easy to produce some useless branches at the top. If it is not cut as soon as you see it, it will be very troublesome to grow in the future, which not only affects the tree type, but also takes up the nutrients of other branches.

If the branches are too dense, some branches even cross-grow. The inward branches, the cross-growing branches, and the colliding branches can be cut off to retain the robust, outward-growing branches while maintaining a gap between the branches.

In addition, in order to make the whole plant take on a new look, all branches can be cut off 2/3 of the length during hibernation, which is equal to only 1/3 of the length left. The aim is to promote the growth of new branches and stems, so that on the one hand, there are more fruit-bearing branches, on the other hand, the renewal of branches and stems is tantamount to removing the old and replacing the new.

In order to make the new branches grow outward, choose to cut at the bottom of an outward-growing bud when pruning, just like pruning roses.
