Someone gave my family some mulberry shoots to plant my garden. Within weeks, it started to grow. I am glad that I have a mulberry tree in my garden and I love eating those mulberries.
A tip to get your mulberry to fruit, let it grow about 10 feet and start pruning it. A day after you prune it, the tree will fruit. Not just a few but a lot of fruits. Try it.
I got some heart shape mulberries too. By the way, wait for the mulberry to turn dark purple so that it will be sweet.
