    Fruitless Mulberry Tree

    I live in Phoenix, Arizona and they are not permitted to sell them any more here. Causes too many allergies. I have three trees bought back in 1978. So I am in good shape for leaves.

    Night time bulb?

    The size of the house will determine the temp. What would a good wattage be to maintain 60* in a small house? Thank you very much for the help.

    Hot in Phoenix

    Temps today were 110+. My sulcata (Nordys) lives outside. She has good access to grass and water. Her hide is covered and has shade. Is she OK to stay outside during this hot spell? She also gets sprinkled on when the auto sprinklers go on. She is a little larger now than this picture. Thanks
