thank you!

morus nigra is just a black mulberry. many different varieties of black mulberries. I don't graft mulberries, just from cuttings, I have about a 50% success rate with no rooting hormone. just stick them in sandy soils or well draining soils and keep them watered in a place that gets limited sun for a few months.

@BosseInTheGarden I have morus Australis black mulberry I think. Some call it the English. Very hard to bud, graft or strike cuttings.. I've been trying for over 20 years.

thank you

I personally plant them 3-5 feet apart. I don't recommend that, but I want greater varieties of fruit even if it means less potential fruit for some of them. the dwarf varieties it doesn't matter.

@@BosseInTheGarden Thank you

@@AllegiancetoYahweh love your username :)

@@FurFeathersandFlowers thank you! God bless you as well with safety and protection. Glad to hear you’re growing food.

thank you

I think I over applied it to that mango tree or the hay mixed with it might have had herbicide sprayed on it. I did a test with it on some bell pepper plants and they did not like it either... which was a bummer, since I know rabbit manure is great for the garden... go figure

@@BosseInTheGarden wow I wonder if that's what stunted my plants this spring. I didn't think about the hay being contaminated.

@@LindasFlowersandVegetablesGard thank you so much

@@NettasNest thank you very much

on cuttings, yes. on already rooted mulberry trees, no.

That’s exactly how I think about things as well. I have a starfruit tree for example that produced approximately 300 organic star fruits this past season. One organic starfruit is at least three dollars…

@@BosseInTheGarden It really surprises me that more people don't grow their own food. Plenty of channels with people complaining about grocery costs, but not many prepared to help themselves. Fruit trees offer the greatest return of all.

@@CraftEccentricity indubitably!

Thank you brother!

Thank you! :)

That’s awesome, in many instances, it’s not possible to grow every kind of produce that we would eat throughout the year. However, being able to grow a lot of it, or even some of it is better than none of it.

Bruh it doesn't take alot of money at all to grow basic stuff to eat nor do you need a lot of space you could use a pot or a small spot in your front yard🗿

@@cyanryann64 shut up Ryan. My points are valid

​@cyanryann64 if you don't have a front yard it does. To grow anything substantial where I live youd need to invest in a sizeable hydroponic setuo

haha love it

Thank you

for sure! I also just wrote a book. It should be available this weekend.

@@BosseInTheGarden no way!? Well done!

@@knittermom07 thank you

that's fantastic! Well done 😀

sorry to hear that

maybe try an outdoor cat. they will help keep rodents away from the garden.

In the wild, sure. In my backyard trying to eat my chickens and fruit and attacking my dog, not so much.

appreciate it :)

No, im demonstrating this tip on a large mulberry cutting/branch that I took from a larger tree, rooted it, and created another mulberry tree from it. But this principle works on all small fruit trees, whether grown from seed, grafted, or a rooted cutting.

So, allow fruiting at 18 inches?

@@marcscott6142 I personally am choosing to allow fruiting at that size because I want the tree to remain small because I’m gonna keep that one in a pot. However if you wanted the tree to grow as big as fast as possible you would continue to prune the fruit off until it is at the desired height you wanted it to be. This would cause your tree to grow the fastest since fruit slows down its growth. Fruit production creates a high energetic demand on the tree.

@@marcscott6142 for me yes because I want to stunt the growth of this tree and make it a dwarf fruit tree. But if I wanted it to continue to grow at the rapid pace that it did for me I would’ve continued to prune it off until it reaches the desired height.

hahahaha man you got me laughing out loud.

Short answer, probably not. Because peanut butter trees have little to no cold tolerance, they can only be grown outside in zones 10-11. In zones 4-9, you can try to house these plants indoors year round or just during the winter.

I have and will

I appreciate it :)

My pleasure 😃

We just finished harvesting our mangoes the other day. Sweet fiberless. Carrie variety.

Thanks for sharing! The peaches the animals didn’t get lol were truly superior in flavor to store bought ones. Although they were smaller, I believe because the tree is still establishing its root system.

It’s my favorite tree to propagate. My kids and I love the fruit.

Yes. So true. A few months ago, it completely ate my little Brussels sprout transplant in 1 day down to a nub lol. The wild rabbit roams, but everything is fenced but weeds. I use the rabbit manure from our pet rabbits.

The bug? It’s called a leaf footed bug they are my enemies lol and one of the biggest problems in Florida for growing a lot of fruits and vegetables.

@@BosseInTheGarden thanks! I have to deal with the hornworm wrecking my tomatoes. I used to get yellow garden spiders and a praying mantis to help with pests but I haven’t been that lucky this year.

@@CarlosZ34NSM hopefully those good bugs come back! to my knowledge no other bug can defeat the leaf footed bug lol they are like tanks

Hit the nail on the head!

When I started learning about gardening in Florida a few years ago most of the resources I consulted which were a lot, indicated that it was almost futile to try to grow them in Florida.

Interesting, the Barbados cherry tree I have tastes like a tart cherry to me. Everyone I’ve ever let try one of these cherries also said that they described it as tasting like cotton candy. Different tastebuds I guess 😃

Thanks Rico!

I will make a video about it soon 😃 some trees are easier than others. Mulberries are typically VERY easy.

Aye! That's awesome to hear :)
