Useful information I can use to improve the growth of my mulberry tree.
It really works, we had an explosive harvest this spring, we will give it another quick prune in September when it starts growing again.
I didn’t know Dwarf Everbearing is a weeping variety. My tiny tree survived zone 9b summer drought in total neglect so this year it’s starting anew. Very helpful video to establish its shape. I look forward to your updates and compare with mine in a pot.
I didn't realize it either untill after we bought it. I don't mind that much. It'll add a different look compared to our other fruit trees. It is a very heavy producing tree and that matters most to us!
Mulberry trees are very forgiving. They can be pruned any time really. We just won't prune it in the heat of summer, mainly to protect the tree itself from our harsh summers!
We will get you an update very soon! We have been harvesting off of it over the past 2 weeks now. 😎
Great tutorial! Those clouds look exciting!
The clouds and rain have been a blessing all season! Hopefully it doesn't stop, we need every drop.
Great information! thanks for this video A-A-Ron!!
You're welcome! I hope this helps 😎
Pruning is sooooo hard for me to do because…well I don’t have a good reason 😂. Thanks as always for sharing and stay blessed fam!

All that previous growth from last year should provide fruit this year, and now we 'need' to prune it out?! Just doesn't make sense!!! Lol
You don't have a good reason, cause you have no idea about growing fruit trees.
I love your negativity. 😎
Prove it, and it better be good!
Keep it up.. more updates plz
The berries are looking wonderful so far, just a nice pink blush started!
We will get you a video soon my friend 😎
I forwarded the video to get to the actual trimming of the tree😅🌳 😅
I hope it works for you! Thanks for the heads up 😎
Some of mine have 4 branches even though they`re tiny. I thought about taking a cutting to root to have 5 instead of 4 trees. But I have pruning anxiety about that.
I hear that! It's a great way to make more trees from cuttings. We Do it in late winter or very early spring when it is dormant. Pencil width and at least 5 buds long. We stick 2 buds in moist potting soil and when things warm up we have more trees!
I planted four of these a month ago in poor hard packed red soil that was a hill bulldozed flat decades ago. I`ve been mowing and adding thick layers of grass clippings mixed with chopped brown leaves and I dug holes with a pick axe to plant them in and added forest soil and some lime pellets since our soil is acidic in Louisiana. I just ordered bone meal and some combo slow/fast release feeder fertilizer with microbes added. Mine are already growing fast on the zone 8b/9a line in Louisiana. I also planted two pineapple guava and 5 more fig trees.
Maybe there will be enough for me and the zoo that lives in my rural yard. I was worried about the crazy bunny that lives here so I put a cheap plastic fence trimmed to size around the mulberry trees with bamboo skewers, zip ties, and cut strips of a mylar blanket and tied them to sticks above them to blow around and got a 3 pound bag of red pepper power, cinnamon powder, and 8 ounces of pure peppermint oil in case the herd of armadillos return this year. They love to hunt bugs and worms in mulch and destroyed everything with mulch and grass clippings last year!
That's a great way to start building your soil, putting anything organic on top and slightly in the first few inches will definitely attract all the little organisms that will give you great soil!. That and plenty of water LOL.
We love our figs, we have a few varieties as well, all doing great here in the heat! What varieties of figs do you have?
@@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard Celeste & Brown Turkey. They do well in our climate but I`m gonna try Chicago Hardy to see if they survive future freezes better. It has been getting way too cold for figs with these Arctic freezes the past several years.
How are all of those ingredients and fencing working out with all of the critters that Go bump in the night?
@baneverything5580 we haven't tried Celeste yes. We have a bear's fig and I'm hoping to get a fruit set on it this summer.
How thick is the trunk going to be when established as a dwarf? How wide are you going to have the canopy?
Dwarf is a relative term, my friend has a dwarf everbearing tree that is over 20 ft tall and 20 ft wide. They never prune it. The fruit size is where the dwarf term comes from.
It's hard to say exactly how large the trunk is going to be, but we won't let this tree get any taller than 10 ft that's as high as I can pull it branches down to harvest. Any taller than that we would need a ladder! We don't want to do that here on our property LOL
I will try to keep the canopy low and probably no more than 6 ft wide and 10 ft tall at maximum. But we will be pruning it down every September here in the valley of the sun.
@@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyardok wow thank you. The variety is very misleading... I've seen other videos and they said it was 4 years old and it really looks small... Not even sure to believe it or not. There's another AZ channel I watch and he said I should not worry about it as far as planting near house...😮 I have 3 baby trees I got from home Depot, not sure I want to plant them now! Our yard is small and I've filled up with lots of crops and front yard is full of native flowers... There's literally no more space.
@samuraioodon planting near a house or a wall is all preference. If i want a 30 foot tall tree then I would plan long term for the health, longevity and care of the tree.
Mine have grown almost one foot so far. A pine tree shaded them more than I thought so eventually I`ll get cuttings to put in a sunnier area. I had intended to put one in that area but fire ants infested the hole I`d dug so I added a pot of mint there to use the pot for carrots. The soil there is very bad and the mint can`t spread there. Plus I knew too that my sister would run over anything I plant there. She always runs over everything...chairs, trees, solar panels etc. She just ran over a fig tree in that area two days ago even though it`s marked with a mylar flag.
They can grow in part shade no problem, we actually have a mulberry tree from seed in the ground in full shade on the North face of our house. It's just a one-year-old though, no fruit yet..
50/50 Borax mixed with sugar took care of our ants.
I hope she's not running over everything intentionally! Got to protect those little baby trees and plants!
@@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard Well, my sister and her son have a vendetta against my solar power setup. I wanted a way to have air conditioning all night after the next hurricane and I`m not sure what their problem is. It has been a lifesaver. Last year we had five power outages during extreme heat emergencies. I had air conditioning and a working freezer, etc. They didn`t. I certainly can`t afford to put fuel in a generator for 3 weeks after the next cat 4 storm so I built my own system part by part over 3 1/2 years. To them it`s "crazy" because they aren`t smart enough to do it.
You're speaking my language! I've been building a solar generator over the last 10 years. Finally got rid of the lead acid batteries about 3 or 4 years ago. We buy 24v 100ah lithium batteries off eBay and they are a lifesaver! And super cheap these days.
I see a common mistake here, those 4 lower limbs need to be removed.
Alrighty, so educate me why the 4 lower branches NEED to be removed. Impress me 😎
