We Didn't Know This About Our Mulberry Tree Until It Blew Up!
Yes!
I am in central Texas, zone 8b. I am so anxious about it. I have a huge list of things I have to do. Feeling overwhelmed! My Everbearing mulberry is about 15 feet tall and 10 feet wide. The berries are not that long, but tasty and very messy when ripe. That is if the birds don't eat them. They can polish off the whole tree in a day when they are just ripe. My tree got popcorn disease last year. Not really sure how to treat it. We removed all the "popcorn". The production was a lot less. Hope it does better this year. It has a baby beside it. I didn't know they could be male or female. How can I tell which it is? I will dig it up and put it in a pot, because I really don't have room for it.
Are you getting excited about planting season?! Let us know here in the comments
I LOVE kumquats. They are generally-especially the Nagami-a little more frost hardy than most citrus. Here in Zone 9A (high desert SoCal) I cover mine for light frost nights if they have some new growth on them. If it looks like it might hit the mid-to-low 20’s F, even if no new growth is present. I also figure they are probably the healthiest citrus you can eat, because of all those polyphenols and antioxidants in the rind. It does seem that sometimes they bloom and there don’t seem to be any bees around and they fail to set fruit. Mine are all in-ground, but I might look into planting something nearby to bring in more bees.
Good to know, hours do well on our patio, they actually don't get much sun at all until late afternoon
I agree, eating the entire fruit gives you everything. That's why they taste so good, you're getting the oils and all of the other benefits of the minerals and vitamins in the rind itself.
I noticed for pollinating we get these tiny little mosquito looking flies that pollinate the flowers. The summer I'll try to get a quick video of that while they are flowering in June.
savage intro
LOL not too sure what you're talking about 😜
Im in Chandler and put a moringa olifera in the ground a year ago and it has done fantastic. But with the winter cold its really drooping. Will it bounce back when it warms up?
Yes, Moringa is much hardier than some people give it credit. As long as you don't receive a freeze while it is small, you should be fine. Keep the roots moist and don't prune it!
You might try the native Mexican Elderberry from San Diego County and elsewhere in Southern California and also down in Baja California. They are smaller than the taall European variety, but very shrubby and heavy producers of fruit.
Do you know where I can find some??!
I’m in Zone 5b, Quebec, Canada. I have two mulberry trees. Everbearing Mulberry (Dwarf) Morus nigra Thai mulberry (Dwarf). Both are black mulberry. The first one is in ground and survived -28c with some die back on smaller branches. The Thai mulberry in a pot and comes inside during winter. Thai mulberry is super productive tree. It’s even produce in the winter under grow light.
It's amazing how hardy these trees really are! How old is your everbearing tree?
@ This will be the 2nd winter outside in-ground. Btw: I also have Sichuan peppercorn tree, related to the citrus family. It’s suppose to be hardy to -25c. This will be first winter outdoor.
That's awesome, I didn't realize how popular mulberries were in Canada. Thanks for letting me know!
These are originally cultivated from China as with orange citrus family members. Kumquats are served traditionally with tea and you peel and eat the rind.
Thanks for the heads up, I've got a Friend that says they do well in the warm region of South East China.
There is a kumquat tree in a pot in disneyland, I showed one of my friends it and he couldn't believe that I recognized it LOL The fruit on them were still ripening. It had a relatively green rind and it was still sweet!
Can you also do this with sweeter varieties of mandarins?
We have Mulberries in Northern Ontario Canada. We are zone 4b.
Wow! Thanks for letting me know.
What variety? Are they in the ground?
@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard They are in the ground with a decentamount of mulch. We have whites and Russian white. Then we have 2 crosses of white and red mulberries. They are called Trader and Illinois everbering mulberries. Supposedly, we are able to grow contorted mulberries and weaping mulberries as well. We just don't have them yet!
@livefreefarmstead I'm hoping this other variety that popped up in the pot is a red mulberry. I know there's trees in our neighborhood, I just don't know exactly what varieties they are.
@livefreefarmstead may I ask how old your trees are? And how tall approximately?
I started with 3 Cabernet Vines two years ago which turned into six due to a shipping error. One was DOA, one got eaten by rats, one was damaged by rats but survived, and 3 are in large pots since our property in Fountain Hills is full of boulders. I use drip emitters and heavy mulch and the potted vines have survived but not put on much growth. Will attempt to get them in the ground in February. Your video is encouraging!
Bonus vines!, I had a similar issue with shipping with our blackberries. Now we have about two dozen plants!
Get those finds into the ground as soon as you get a chance, and plenty of water, grapevines do well when they are watered regularly. Fertilize in February and they will explode with growth!
Keep us updated on how they do! Please
I had to do this with my pomegranate tree's few weeks ago. We are now hitting our chill ours in Las Vegas. Still not a drop of rain. But atleast we are getting chill hours 😊 cheers.
Thank you...very informative.
You're welcome. This is one of our favorite trees. Still growing strong 💪

@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard well dang, the one over here in Gilbert is slacking!
It's only the beginning, they get deliveries Tuesdays and Fridays i here. Check out tractor supply also, they are starting to get their shipments in the store. Outside of the store should be February ish.
Some Both the home Depot and Lowe's still have some from November.
Where did you get your mulberry?
Starkbros.com
@@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyardcool! How big is the fruit? And how loaded is it? Thanks
@GodExplained we let it fruit on the second spring of its life. The fruit themselves are about an inch long and about a half an inch wide and was completely loaded, we filled up two 1 gallon bags and made one and a half gallons of mead wine out of them. I can't wait for this spring, the tree is huge, I can get you an update.
@@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard This is very cool indeed!!! I hope they do well in zone 8b, I got 2 from Starkbros as well!
@GodExplained they should do great in your Zone. They are cold Hardy all the way down to -10°f! Congrats man! You're going to love them. I'll record a video for you today and get it posted by the weekend.
I noticed the "chill hours" today on some dwarf peach trees and was unsure what that meant. What would you guess the chill hours are for the phoenix/ scotsdale area? Subscribed!
We get an average of about 300, but the last couple of years we have had over 500 on our property! This year not so much.. we will be lucky to get 300!
One cill hour is anything 45° to 32°f for at least an hour. Our morning lows have been in the upper 30s, some outlining areas like Scottsdale have been freezing. Once we get 45 degrees that starts the chill hour., sometimes that will last for 12 hours! Each night.
Once we hit 60°, that stops and sometimes reverses the chill hour collection.
The last few nights, On our property in Surprise, we get 45° around 11:00 p.m..
@@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard thanks for the information i found 3 that had chill hours at or below 300. Now I just have to figure out how to plant them! Thank you!
Did the raspberries survive? If so..... which varieties?
Unfortunately I used too much soil sulphur on them and fried them. Since then I removed the soil. I've replaced them with blackberries only.
Do you use compost at home? Let us know what you put in your compost bin!
In the same growing zone so happy to see someone else growing grapevines organically in our zone. I'm in Louisiana though so much wetter. I have Mars, Chambourcin 3 years old hyped to see if I finally get some grapes, St Croix I'm gonna plant this year, and Traminette on the way too.
Louisiana gets hot, those are some nice varieties. I've seen St Croix at our local nurseries. I'll have to grab it when I see it next time!
I am in AZ
Where did you get that peach tree? I want one.
I got lucky at Lowe's. Several years ago. Start looking at Lowe's and the home Depot. Trees arrive soon!
A fungicide for bacterial infection? Ok…
Yes, copper fungicide can also kill bacteria; copper compounds are considered both fungicides and bactericides, meaning they can effectively target and kill both fungal and bacterial pathogens on plants. Explanation: Copper ions released from the fungicide disrupt the cell membranes and enzyme functions of both bacteria and fungi, leading to their death.
How much water do I give a new root stock? I'm in northern AZ in Mohave county.
We always keep our new rootstocks moist, but never wet. At least for the first two years. Mulch mulch mulch. Saves water, protects the roots from cold and Heat and the release of moisture from the soil.
WoW... I live in Las Vegas. Here wondering if my 4 vines could grow decently and BAM... I find your channel. What an awesome collection of vines. Thank you for sharing. Super motivating 🙏
That's awesome! Glad you found us, we've got a bunch of videos for you.
You can definitely grow lots of Vines in Vegas. Especially with the nearby volcanic soil. You'll have great minerals and soil.
Start checking your local nurseries. I know Lowe's and home Depot have already started supplying bare roots.
@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard yes. We have few nice nurseries in Vegas. I picked out a few different varieties. Just wasn't sure they would grow. After watching your video... im planting this October 😎
Looks yummy 🤙🏼
They sure are, and taste just as good as they look! Our kids love them fresh.
Are your citrus trees blooming?
Not yet sir, usually things start to bloom by the end of march. We will need consistent morning lows 50°f - 10°c and above.
Do you want to grow grapes on your property let us know here in the comments!
Another Awesome Video. that's a lot of varieties i never even knew about! thank you for sharing your beautiful backyard vineyard!
Thanks, it's amazing how many different grape varieties there are!
If u want to balance the tree more to the north, I would "click cut" the tips of the north shoots only. I mean the terminal tips of the branch only, so when they are gone the tree will react with more growth on these branches.. U did a really good job on the pruning in my opinion. beautiful shaped tree. Gonna be a food delivering beauty. The year after that u will have to balance the tree again, but it will be easier. how did it grow last season? :)
I truly appreciate your support and feedback. I will work on that this pruning season 2025.
We have quite a few videos we will be posting this month. I'll include a mulberry video about all 5 of our mulberry trees.
such great information! thank you. cant wait or the video to come out!
Thanks! The video will be going live tomorrow!
@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard awesome! Love your videos bro
Are there grape varieties with seeds? Why are they all seedless?
@dougdz11 great question! yes there are seeds in most all wine varieties. The seedless varietals have either been bread or discovered seedless then cultivated for the Masses!
Are you wanting to grow grapevines in your desert backyard? We will show you how!
Love your videos, would love a peach tour/comparison video! Peach shopping this winter & considering desertgold, bonaza mini & Babcock in particular 🍑🍑🍑
I would love to do a comparison video! Hopefully, you get some great trees.
I bought some Moringa seeds from an Oriental market and I went through them to germinate the biggest ones and I ended up getting 3 Red Moringa trees, they are currently in the ground and established
That's amazing! Red Moringa I hear are very rare. We are growing two babies right now from seed, I hope they are true seeds and grow more red moringa trees.
Oops I have 23 trees in my backyard 🤯
That's awesome! Sounds like you have a great property. I wish I had more land, the things I could do.. LOL
@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard Yes, I am definitely blessed with a pretty large property, I was thinking I'd use it for fertilizer, personal nutrition and for animal feed
@jordanhuguenard8315 that's exactly what it should be used for.
@jordanhuguenard8315 in my opinion it is the perfect tree to grow in zones 9 and above! If taken care of property it will provide for all life.
Yes we have been. Thank you for the great long form video! 😊
I hope this helps! Thanks for watching our videos.
AWESOME TREE. how long have you been eating moringa?
I have been harvesting off this tree since the first year I've been growing it. I believe this is the 7th year of it in the ground.
It really is a great tree. In my opinion these trees are WAY underrated.
Yummy papaya! One of my favorite fruits! We also like to add it in our chicken and ginger soup or just for a snack.
I cand wait to grow more. This tree doesn't take up much space at all.
Chicken and Ginger soup sounds delicious with Papaya 😋🥣 maybe with rice or noodles
Wow lots of flowers! We like moringa leaves, fruit and flowers. They are very delicious and healthy! We grow it in the Philippines. Too bad the moringa tree can't survive the cold weather here in Washington, state.
This tree puts on a ton of flowers on the growing tips. Pretty much all year round.
Depending on where you are in Washington State they can do well in areas where it doesn't freeze in the temperate zones.

I can't wait to see your little citrus babies grown by seed!
@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard I'm definitely nervous and hopeful they survive the winter 🙏 Really wish I could put them in the ground but don't have the land for it.. Want to start using cuttings to propagate different varieties to my citrus rootstocks and definitely start experimenting with different methods to ensure what I'm growing is going to bare good fruit 🍋🍊 Wanted to ask you if you know of any place I can get my hands on good varieties of citrus cuttings? Was going to use my Meyer lemon to experiment with my seed growns but I think my Meyer lemon tree is done 🥺 lost all its leaves out of nowhere last month
That's a great idea. last year I was able to graft on several stone fruit varieties. I'm going to attempt grafting more Apple varieties this year as well as rooting cuttings from our grapes and other trees including figs.
I think some Facebook groups might have cuttings to offer as Scion wood to graft. That's where I would look first
Sorry to hear about your Meyer lemon brother.. that's always frustrating when trees die. Were you able to dig it up and check out the roots? Any signs of disease or pests?
Great info! What is the exact name of your meter and where did you get it? Do you ever make orchard visits to advise?
HSLGOVE Soil Test Kit, 7-in-One Soil pH Meter

Yes I do give consultations. Direct message us on our Facebook page please.

good question!
How does the soil meter work?
Great question, I did a little bit of research and there are conductors built into the stem that transmit the signals to the meter computer inside.
@@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard thank you very much! i will look into this and let you know!
I did not realize all of that. great video. Looks like you've got a nice crop this year. How do the Pomona sweet lemons taste?
Thank you, I haven't counted all of them yet, but I'm guessing near 100. We have already tasted a few and they are much better now the tree is older. The first couple of years they were very astringent tasting. Almost like lemon cleaner.
We see this all around town, we've been growing this particular tree for 7 years now and it always does this and never affects how it produces fruit.
Hmm I thought they only got to about 6ft tall not sure about 20 feet. I planted 4 of them in my yard and I put some hardware cloth around them.
This tree grew 6 ft in one year, I have two friends with these trees growing in their backyard, one of them is at least 20 ft tall and 15 ft wide.
What kind of fertilizer do you use? Tree looks nice! Do they fruit of old branches or do the only fruit on new branches. I heard only on pruned branches will it grow fruit. Is that accurate?
I'll keep track of where we get our fruit this spring. The past 3-4 years we have had delicious fruit develope everywhere on our Black Mission Fig tree. The trunk, old branches and new growth from last season.
Once our trees reach maturity about the fourth year of life we don't really fertilize them with fertilizers. We only use our compost and then of course mulch year round.
The first and second year we use blood and bone meal granules and then that's really about it. Lots of mulch and lots of water to develop those strong roots. Compost from there after. We are more focused on building our soil for long-term health of the tree. How to attract as much BioLife as possible which includes bugs and worms, and of course beneficial fungus that will naturally develop with good soil health.
We will be pruning that bad boy this winter, mostly for structure. It wants to be a 20 foot tall monster LOL
Awesome. Thank you for the helpful information! I have a black mission headed my way now.
