Mulberry Tree Leaves

[Abdulla6169]

Now that I think about it, I have heard of Mulberry pie, and I highly doubt they make it with leaves
There is nursery here that sells all sorts of exotic plants, one of the best (IMO!) I bet they''d probably have a couple Hmm. Should probably wait until spring to plant, right? Then the trees can get established before winter?

I don't know anything about american weather, the best nursery would know

I'm not sure how well a mulberry would do in Ohio. Definitely wait until spring, but ask a local nursery how well they would do in your area. They do great here and most of our winter nights are near and sometimes below freezing. They go dormant in winter and lose all their leaves here.

 

[Jacqui]

Yes
Was wondering, though, everyone seems to have planted 'fruitless' mulberry trees... reason why? I didn't even now they made fruint until I read it here is it poisonous?

In some areas the ones with fruit are no legal to be planted any more. I like the ones with fruit because of the wide assortment of birds it attracts.

Fall is a wonderful time to be planting trees, as they don't have to worry about the summer heat right away.

Probably so the tree can replant itself?
There a lot of wild birds here, and of course, they get fed It would be pretty to see other birds though, like Orioles lie berries and sugary fruit over seeds, so we hardly ever see them
I don't know if the plant place sells mulberry trees, but they send a catalog in the mail every month (for buying a raspberry bush there a LONG time ago ) so I can look

 

[Jacqui]

I might have to look into getting one!

Have you tried the leaves on your animal yet?

No, I don't have a bush, and no one around here (that I know of) grows any
Everyone here is saying sulcata's like them, but would it be good just to check first?

 

[Jacqui]

If you would like, I could mail you some leaves. Just PM me your mailing infor

Just for fun!!



This shot was taking about earlier this year. They came to me about 18 months ago. every tree are in a couple inch pot.

This is suppose be a Japaneses "dwarf" Mulberry tree.

My wife planted on our front yard about May this year.

This is today.



I don't know Japanese "Dwarf" can be over 6 foots already!!!! Hahahahah!!!!!!

 

[Jacqui]

Perhaps the term dwarf is meaning it's smaller then the "normal" mulberry trees, not that it's really going to stay a little 6-8' tree.

I have a whole yard full of them. Next spring, if you live in northern ohio, you can dig up a few

From what I understand, they do go dormant in the colder states and the leaves fall off. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to transplant one in an already weakened state. But, if you bought one still in a pot, I see no issue with you just bringing it home in a pot and waiting for spring. Mine was in a large pot and about 6' tall. I transplanted it into a MUCH larger planter/pot and the next few days, I thought for sure that it was dead. The leaves had all turned brown and crunchy, however, it has come back and looks great as of yesterday.( I read on the internet that transplanting this tree is very stressful to the tree.) Mine was $25. It's a dwarf, red variety. There are many varieties with the "white" mulberry being the cheapest and fastest growing.

I have 3 growing in my yard. I'm in Chicago, cold and snow. They are not growing fast, but getting lots of leaves. One is going through its 2nd winter this year and was brought over from my old house. The other ones I just got this spring. They are fruitless dwarf from Coastal.

I love the fruiting tree (childhood memories). This is what the "normal" mulberries you buy here grow up to:

My fruitless dwarfs leafs look nothing like yours. This is where I got mine and what they look like http://www.coastalsilkworms.com/tortoise-food/dwarf-mulberry-tree-1qrt.html
I wonder why such a difference.

Thanks! I do Northeast, Ohio.
@AbdullaAli, that's a big tree, with lots of leaves... do you ever see any silkworms on it?

My cousin has a tree about that size, but I just found a picture online that looked exactly like it.... No silkworms, but lots of fruit that color the pavement.

Free decoration! Does it stain your shoes?
Oh, okay, he must take good care of his tree! I'm positive silkworms don't live here, but I'd bet it would attract other critters

There aren't silkworms here, no "good care". This is how the tree is cared for:
1- the tree is watered often.
The "soil" that is used is actually orange sand. It just gets LOTS of sun and heat (The temperature never drops below 48 here). My tree is doing OK, I think it just needs time

Cool! I am near Sandusky (Cedar Point) town called Norwalk. I have a few good sized starts growing randomly in my yard. So if your close & want to come dig, let me know They are to big, I think to mail, but small enough for transplant.
