I ordered both kind of mulberries from Logees. They came in great condition. I have them both planted in the same 20 gal pot divided by a DIY ollas. Can't wait for fruit.
So they will survive forever in a pot or would eventually have to be replanted into the ground? I'm looking to keep a small one like that, no bigger but I'm worried it would die from the lack of space? Also, would any type of mulberry tree work in a pot or just this one specifically?
They can be grown in pots for many years especially the Dwarf ever bearing and the Issai. After many years you might need to root prune them in early spring but we just keep feeding them and they grow in the same pots for decades. That said the larger growing varieties like Illinoi ever bearing and Pakistan would need root pruned every few years and hard top pruning every year.
I know that when checking a plant to see if it needs water, you usually just stick your finger an inch into the soil and see if it's dry or not. But how much water should you be giving it and how often? I have a plant (from a clipping) in a kind of bigger pot (maybe 8 inches in diameter) and I think I've been giving it more than 3 cups. But I fear that I'm over watering it.
Hello, Thank you posting this informative video. I am aware this video is (almost) Seven year old but hope someone at LogeesPlants may answer this question. I would like to how does this Mulberry berry compares to the "Mulberry Tree" Mulberry berry as I would like to grow a Mulberry in a container. Thank you
Hi, My Mulberry tree has fruits for the first time. But the problem is ripe Mulberry fruits are not sweet. They are sour. Is the nature of the 1st time fruit in the Mulberry tree? Apprentice your reply. Thanks
Hello, I recently purchased Issai and only found the same general care information on both the regular dwarf and the Issai regarding outdoor winter hardiness. I live in Redmond Washington zone 8a. Is it better or necessary for it to go through winter dormancy? Or should I try to protect it or even bring it inside under lights for the winter? I would prefer to leave it outside if I can. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You can leave the plant outdoors, however, it will need to be mulched the first few years to protect the root system. When the plant is outdoors, it will go dormant during the winter.
Hello Mr Martin, I purchased a Issai mulberry from your nursery . I'm very happy with the new growth but would like to know should I grow as a tree or bush? I would like for it to become a tree . When should I prune? Ohio zone 6. Thanks in advance.
This mulberry is a Japanese cultivar that flowers and fruits successively throughout the growing season. Its fruit is much larger than the ‘Dwarf Everbearing’ and the growth is heavier with a more open growth habit. It starts fruiting at an early age and can be maintained in a pot for years to come with a little help from the pruning shears.
A balanced fertilizer will do the trick. If they are not fruiting and the cutting came from fruiting plants then if could be to much nitrogen. Try a fertilzer that has a ratio like 7-9-5. Be sure they are in full sun and don’t over pot. Sometimes just restricting the root system will do it. Some varieties of mulberry take long to come into fruit than others when propagated form cutting..
I live in Zone 10a and have a dwarf everbearing mulberry starter plant. You say full sun but it gets scorching out here during the summer, are you sure it's ok in my zone? Since it is a small plant still, I've been keeping it in partial sun just in case. Do I have to stake it?
Question, i got a mulberry tree from my uncles yard three years ago he told me it will fruit in three years, so it did started to fruit last year but its fruit like popped into pale yellow flowers and falls off. This year every branch has countless fruit like berries and its starting to fall again. Can u tell me whats happening to my tree? Will i get any fruits? I have two wild ones 8 ft tall doing same thing!
@@LogeesPlants its got full sun lots of water and fertilizers from store, it seems to be very healthy. One other wuestion is do they flower before they fruit? I have seen these trees fruit and ripens never before like this.

I bought and plant the mulberries cuttings now all of them are growing. I hope will grow taller. 😊
You are such a great teacher.
You sir have made my life worth living again

Seyla_11B did you get any fruit?
Yes, but the fruit wasn't tasty enough to keep the 2 plants.
I take it back, i kept the Nigra type. The fruit this year is tastier. The alba type I used the root stock for grafting.
Thanks for your reply!
What kind of soil/compost should one use?!
Good Teaching and informative video. Concise, simple and insightful. Thank you.

So which one can I have? I am in Denver, Colorado
Wow, your green house, is just so beautiful
Thank you so much 😊
I took a cutting from a large mulberry tree and rooted it. Will I have a problem growing it small and indoors since it came from such a big tree?
If you want to keep it on the small side, you just have to make sure to keep up on the pruning. Also, grow in full sun.

They can grow in ground from Hawaii to warmer Alaska to Arizona to Maine.
Beyond informative!
Do mulberry loose leaves in winter
Can you grow them as a hedge? If so what should the spacing be? Thanks for the great video.
Of course! Spacing needs to be at least 15 ft between trees.
Hello, I have one in a 25g container and it’s already fruiting but fruits are really small. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I have a black mulberry tree that’s huge in my yard and I live in Alabama
Will the fruit always be small or will they get a little bigger with age?
I grow this outside in zone 5b with no issues.

Does the “Issai” mulberry need a chilling or “dormant” period or is it ok to bring inside under a light for the winter?
It's ok to bring inside under a light for the winter.
How large of a container would you recommend for a height of 5-7 feet tall ?
Thanks !
Probably an 18" pot, if not larger.
im not sure about everbearings, but there are many bird planted black and red mulberries near me in zone 5a
Our Wild Mulberrys grew like weeds & would morph into bushes if not trimmed. Trimmed they grow into tall trees. They didn't require any care.
Fabulous information.
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful greenhouse
my mullberry is stop fruiting... any suggestion mrs? thx before..
Could be seasonal. Most are. Even the ever bearing varieties stop during the short days of the year.

Can we grow mulberry indoor
Absolutely! Just need a sunny window.
love mulberries
my mulberry tree flower always fall before it becomes fruit. it is already happens for 2 years.. any suggestion?
Where did the plant come from? They are male and female on different trees, dioecious. The males flower but never set fruit.
Great information. Thank you
Beautiful 👌👌👌
can you share your fertz ratio ? i grown mine from cuttings , for a year or two , dont even have fruits .sad

It will take full sun even in the southern US. If grown under high light it doesn’t need to be staked.
great video so informative! thank u!
Thank Sir for sharing clip about mulberry tree.
My home has many mulberry bonsai
I love mulberry

Are they in full sun? Being fertilized? How often are they being watered?
@@LogeesPlants its got full sun lots of water and fertilizers from store, it seems to be very healthy. One other wuestion is do they flower before they fruit? I have seen these trees fruit and ripens never before like this.
Do you happen to know the NPK value on the fertilizer that you're using? The plants generally flower before fruiting.
Thanks for the info!
thats great mulberry in container
persian mulberry sounds good
wow thanks for sharing.
8( my mulberry tree is planted on soil and it is 4f and nothing
+BsOnK1969 some require a male or female depending which one it is..
