Wow, the timing of this video couldn’t be more perfect. Trying to figure out why my Pakistani is not fruiting.
I got it last year in March from nursery, it was already 6’ tall, pretty mature tree. Last year I figured out, that I just missed the season.
Now after a year in the ground and full of leaves again - not ONE berry!
I guess red flags should have been last year when I pruned it several times and not one berry popped up. Any other mulberry, even 6-8 months old will sprout at least 1 berry !
Thank you so much!
I’ll give it 1-2 more years, because I figure it is about 3 years old now.
Greta info!
our cuttings even fruit without any roots! lol
@@qctropicals yeah, mine too - propagating Shangri La and Worlds best - berries before roots, had to clip them off so they don’t suck all the juices and roots can develope
@@xvolkodavx446 i keep hearing about this "world's best" variety. Does it beat my green mulberry? 🙃
@@qctropicals I don’t think anything beats Australian Green/King Shahtoot mulberry for flavor, ripe honeydew is the best!
Worlds best is Morus alba macroura hybrid, very heavy producer, berries are raspberry/blackberry mix flavor and over 1” in size. Very close to Thai Dwarf variety in shape and size
Oh and the best thing about WB - it’s everbearing, so you get multiple crops here in Florida. Last berries I had were around Thanksgiving last year
I got a large one for mother's day from my son. Full of gorgeous leaves. No flowers.
This video was a little late for me.....I just pulled up my 3 Year old Pakistan mulberry tree, it was huge and never fruited, I pulled this huge healthy tree up this spring... So glad I found you channel, love the honest commentary! The nursery I got it from said nothing was wrong. I just figured it was a male tree. Oh, I live in FL so my mulberry varieties fruit all the time.
We call mulberries shah-toot. Just saying!
Thanks brother. My knowledge in this aspect increased because of you. Much love and respects from Pakistan!
I love it when a video just reads my mind! I was at my wits end pruning, watering, and fertilizing
Thank you for posting this video and educating people. I have a Pakistani Mulberry that is huge but not flowering. I’m now looking forward to waiting and harvesting the berries when it’s ready.
Thank you for the video and for the information. This is my situation and what led me to watch dozens of videos today about Mulberry trees, specifically White Mulberry trees. As far as I know, we do not have any mulberry trees growing in our area, yet approximately three years ago we had a mulberry tree growing on the side of our house. I identified it with a program on my phone called "Picture It" where you take a picture of any plant or tree and the program will identify it... It is a White Mulberry. Because this tree was growing too close to the house's foundation I completely cut it down to the ground. Last year this beautiful tree grew back again even bigger than it was the year before. Now, I still need to get it away from the house's foundation, but what I would like to do is take a bunch of cuttings from it first because as a child I loved picking berries from our trees. The final problem is that in the three years it has been growing (this will be season #3), it has never fruited. My questions for you are these... 1. How did this White Mulberry tree voluntarily plant itself in my yard without human assistance? 2. Is there a way to move the tree as a whole tree without killing it. & 3. Should I even try to take cuttings from a tree that has never fruited? Any help you can give would be appreciated.
1-birds eat mulberries and seeds and carried out in their poop. 2-You will need to dig out as much of the taproot as possible when dormant only. 3-It's most likely a male or fruit may not be as good, only time will tell. You seem to care for this plant and the plant itself seems to really want to survive. I would dig it out and give it a chance at life if it were me.
Thank you so much for your video. Finally, I get an explanation that makes sense…
Sorry for your losses. It is sad and maddening whem people treat like you don't know what you are talking about. But people who see quality, appreciate your honesty. Don't change ❤
Hey buddy! I'm a mulberry fan from a large, far and cold country (yep, you guess it). I have some plants from different sources, and yes, also Pakistani mulberries in pots. They're quite fast to produce, unlike other mulberries.
And here's what I found: a mulberry plant usually starts producing fruits on a three-year-old wood, even if it was propagated from a fruiting plant. The buds on it set flowers during winter dormancy period. And when you root a cutting, it is not "zero-year-old", it is kinda "1-year old twig grown on a 5-year-old branch grown on a 20-year-old tree".
So, I guess, once you propagate it from a root, you "reset" the clock of the wood to zero years.
But personally I see no a single problem in that. Most trees here (apples, plums, pears, apricots) do not produce until 4-5 years after you've planted them.
thank you friend. In today's society, people want instant gratification and do not like to wait :).
@@qctropicals At least there are two benefits of such a renewal. First, the plant would be disease-free, and next, it will be more vigorous and high. For some it is a good thing.
I wonder if a plant grown from a bud via tissue propagation would have same behavior as the plant grown from a root piece.
Hi , I ordered Pakistan mulberry tree from Amazon and is coming next week. I live in northeast Georgia zone 7, can I plant the tree in the ground or needs to be in pot?
@@nasimarahman7683 it grows faster in ground.
Personally, I really appreciate the information. You obviously have experience with this.
11:09 I am from Pakistan and I planted my Pakistani mulberry tree from a seed. But its leaves are not like what you showed in this picture. Its leaves are very big and like heart❤ shape. However it started flowering the previous year (after 4 years of seedling). But it is a male tree so I grafted it on Feb 15, 2023.
I never knew the tissue culture and I just came to know it from your video. So, thanks for this wonderful information 💗
Some leaves will be heart shape but most seedlings are elongated. All the way from Pakistan!. Is this variety popular in your area?
@@qctropicals Yeah it is the the most popular variety in Pakistan.
I purchased mine in 2020. So its been in ground 3 years. I contacted the Etsy seller he claimed it was a cutting after I asked if it was a seedling. I just emailed him and told him I think my Pakistan Mulberry is a tissue culture because it has not flowered or given me fruit. I have 3 other varities which have all flowered a given me fruit.
I saw a video that recommended beating the tree to get it to fruit. I have not beat mine yet, because I have noisy neighbors who watch me working in my mini food forest.
lol, don't beat your tree. It's not its fault. You either got a tissue culture or a seedling. Hopefully the seller is honest enough to at least admit which one he sent you.
Thanks for so important knowledge. Love you bro
Thank you so much for the explanation. My tree is 3 years old, strong with healthy leaves....but no fruits! I've been so anxious bc I know other mulberries in my area are already fruiting. I'll wait another year, then.
Mine is 9 mos old but not flowering (it's from a cutting bought online). It got water stressed last week and all the leaves dried to a crisp so I took them all off. Then it flowered.
But now I realized they're all male flowers.😅 I saw a huge tree like on the other end of town that's fruiting and there are no other mulberries nearby. 🤯
Absolutely amazing information! I have a white Pakistani mulberry from LE Cooke that has been doing this over the past two years. That tree is over 20 feet tall with a huge trunk too. I always wondered why it’s not fruiting. Again thank you so much for this info.
I have the same thing. I planted two trees in 2019. I saw a few fruit this year. I thought they are males but I haven’t seen very much flowers. So this is year four. I plan to just leave them alone.
Love the wisdom you share. Because of you my guava survived the winter and looks fantastic.
Thanks so much for this. I have 3 Everbearing Mullberry 3 years old and not a single fruit. Hopefully next year
i have so much respect for you.. You live your life with integrity and you speak the truth. You are a rare human being and we are lucky to have your videos. Many thanks and blessings
Thank you! plants and animals made me this way.
@@qctropicalswhere can i buy your mulberry?
Wow. I think I have a tissue cultured mulberry. All the ones at the nursery looked the same. I also pruned it heavily to see if it would set fruit a 3 weeks ago and l though it has leaves now, no fruit.
Wow just realized this video was posted on my birthday! Lol. Subbed!
I have a Barbados cherry that was grown from tissue culture and they said it fruits much faster but it's only about 18" tall and it's only in its 1st year so I don't even know but they did say that they fruit faster. But what your saying makes sense
Appreciate the information. No one else could figure out why they wouldn't fruit. It's been two years now, so hopefully next year it will fruit. Thanks
Fruit tree I buy from Lowes are 5 6, 7 years to fruit. Trees bought at Walmart fruit the same season or the second season plum and pear trees much smaller than Lowes trees in both cases I'm talking about potted trees
Great info. I’m still trying to figure out why the white Pakistani mulberries are so damn hard to propagate.
Yeah those are only through grafting
They do graft pretty easily, especially on everbearing rootstock or tree. I grafted 3 on one 9 month old bush and they have berries this year already
Informative! Tissue culture figs are similar in my experience. They grow spindly initially and can take 2-3 years to fruit. Not worth it in my opinion for the FMV free aspect as a well taken care of grafted or rooted plant will grow out of it. Plus the lab is not perfect; they make mistakes and can introduce mutations. I stay away from TC .
yes tissue cultured figs are about the same but they do tend to fruit sooner. Once we figured out how to propagate them we stopped buying tissue cultured.
Thanks for this video, and both of you, thanks for answering my unspoken question about whether TC figs are the same! I just recently planted a TC Black Madeira and it is thriving. I figured it probably wouldn’t fruit this year, but I guess I will have to accept that it likely won’t fruit next year either. Glad I grafted a Black Madeira onto a different tree last spring, which is really taking off this spring so maybe THAT one will give me a first taste of a Black Madeira fig this fall! 🤞Good to know what to expect when.
How long is take Pakistan mulberry tree to fruit from seedlings? Thank you
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge and educating the rest of us around the world.
Oh my ! So glad I came across
Your video I. am in Florida had this property for thirty years. I have bought mulberry trees from big box store. I have made cuttings and grew more trees in my yard.
I saw a. Video on youtube. talking about. those large mulberrys so I ordered one from etsy..
A few years ago. Started in a small pot it got a little larger and I finally put in the ground.
Well It never brought any blooms or fruit. Its out in the garden. Fruit garden . cherry's mangos of different types lemon avacados pineapples figs etc. Well after seeing Your talk about
Pakastany mulberrys. I see what happened. Thank you😢 You solved my wondering!
My little tree is still in the garden maybe it will bloom??? We are in the rainy season.
everything is getting a boost. And all the mulberrys are off the chain!
There is one thing I may add my mulberries love lots of sun .The fruit is larger and sweeter in more sunny areas. (Same type of mulberry starts) thanks Lynda
Hi thanks for the info. Do you know how cold hardy is the Pakistan mulberry tree or how cold can it take?
unfortunately I do not. But my guess if your soil freezes solid in the winter, this tree may not make it.
I was gifted a Pakistani mulberry branch to grow. This is the second year. There are many branches and many leaves. It is very healthy. This cutting was taken from a mature fruiting mulberry. This the 2ndyear of growth, there were only 2 fruits. Is it possible that my tree is from a tissue culture? If so, I’m hoping there will be many fruits next year. If I propagate mulberry once it matures and fruits, will it also take 3 years for the cutting to bear fruits?
Thanks, this was so informative. I am happy to find out my trees will bloom and fruit one day because they are already huge-- like 15 foot just in the second year. I was feeling like it would be a shame to have such huge trees that never produce. Thanks again for sharing this information.
Thank you for doing this video. I have three trees and was wondering what the issue is. I will just be patient. I got mine in Canada so this is obviously happening all over.
We bought a Pakistan mulberry 4 years ago and it hasn’t fruited yet
You truly are the master of the king of mulberries the "Pakistan Mulberry". Thanks for sharing valuable info- saves years.
Well we Pakistanis whether plant or humans . We like our very own habitat. Our apna elaqa( mean our very own place or area)😂😂😂😅😅😅😅 In Pakistan you'll see mulberries almost in many areas. But due to their stains on roads sidewalks etc. People are not loving them much. I dont know why. Its a great shade providing tree ttoo!
hope you will see my comment
thank you for this information its help to know what we plant
could you please tell us or showing how roots move in soil

This is SO HELPFUL!! I am an experienced gardener, but my two Pakistan Mulberries have not fruited for YEARS. I was going to just remove the trees, but now I know the reason. Thank you!!
My Pakistan Mulberry plant, when bought from stark Brothers nursery was of fruiting age. It came with the roots. It's been over 10 years now its a big tree. I think it's perfectly healthy growing well. I prune it before every winter. It does have different shapes of leaves so it's not just male tree. It's male and female. But not a single fruit or flower yet.
What should I do?
Every year I plan if not fruiting this year then I can cut it down. I have planted another plant too which is about 3 4 years back. It's about 3 feet tall above the ground as deers eat. It's planted just next to this big tree.
Please guide me. Thanks.I am in Michigan .
My guess is you bought a grafted tree and let one of the suckers grow. You no longer have a pakistan but a seedling. It's also probably a male since you haven't noticed flowers as they tend to flower and drop their flowers pretty quickly and sometimes they're small enough you won't notice them unless you looked.
I bought a white pakistan in France, it's clearly not from tissue culture, it's like a 7 feet straight branch that they rooted. It has lot of new branches but none of them have any fruits. Is that something usual for a first year?
My main fear is that they sold me a fruitless mulberry instead of a white pakistan...
Thanks!
Im breeding pakistan hybrids. The hybrid vigor helps them produce 2nd and 3rd year from culture.
We got the saccades waking up this spring>>>>THEY WREAKED HAVOK ON MY FRUIT TREES......They ate on the stalks till they died off the tree so I have a lot of limbs propagating>>>>I could just twist it off they ate through so much >>>>strawberry trees, mulberry trees>>>>the only trees saved was my black sapotes not sure why but they survived that fiasco....Alll the small seedlings like sugar apples and blackberry jam trees survived because they sat on low ground and I think the black sapotes survived because I had them staked and I think i faked them out on the stakes>>>no pakistan mulberry but i have thought about adding it
I bought a Pakistan Mulberry from you in March and planted it. It’s been pretty happy all the way up until 2 days ago when all the leaves on the tree burned to a crisp. Ever since planting it’s been getting 3 gallons of water at 6am, 3 gallons at noon and 3 gallons at 6pm plus I hand water in the morning and evening getting it nice and soaked. This week I felt as if I might be overwatering it so I backed off on the hand watering but never touched the automatic watering. The root ball never dried out. Still on Thursday morning the tree was toast (literally). All the branches are still pliable but there’s no new growth (hasn’t grown one bit since planting). Is it dead? I’ve resumed the hand watering. My understanding is that you can overwater the tree? The guava I planted on the same day is growing like crazy and I’ve never changed anything about watering it (it gets the same amount plus hand watering and never dries out). Everything else in the yard is still going crazy like the bamboo and bananas. Any advice? Thanks!
I have a beautiful mulberry I planted 3 years ago. Beautiful but no fruit- it is supposed to be Pakistan mulberry. I paid well over $100 from a top notch nursery. I have 4 more I bought on eBay - they were supposed to be white mulberry but they just finished fruiting black berries. Awesome flavor. They were 8 inch sticks when I planted them . 2 beside the Pakistan mulberry. One is about 14 feet tall and gave me prolific fat wonderful berries for over a month. The one in the middle gave me about 10 pea sized berries. The other 2 in the back yard are about 10 feet and continue to give medium sized good tasting berries. All bought at same time from eBay . I didn’t pay much so I imagine it was from a back yard propagation. Hopefully my expensive tree will eventually start producing berries.
I just made a video on my channel about my tropical fruit!! I have one mulberry Pakistani tree that grow good, , got new grows but no fruit… 😢😢 I am in florida
these trees are sold thruout the U.S. and I wouldn't be surprised if they're not sold internationally. Just gonna have to wait to get fruit.
@@qctropicals they should advise buyers that there will be no fruit for the next few years..
@@qctropicals wondering if you can give me advice on my mango trees..root on one of my mango tree kind of became open / exposed a little. Do I cover it back with new soil? Thank you in advance
I have a tree for 4 years now. I heavily pruned it last year and it gave me baby fruits and fell down. I hope I'll get some good size fruits this year.
I have a 3 y.o. white mulberry (not Pakistani) that gets a lot of male flowers, but only 2-3 female flowers.
Is this a male tree? Would it produce more female flowers later?
Is there any trick to get more female flowers?
Thanks
I had the same issue with a black pak I bought from eBay that was a tissue culture. This was many years ago. Maybe 5+. I had grafted some of the cuttings from it to a dwarf everbearing just for experiment and after 2-3 years that started fruiting. This is the first year it's fruited so let's see how it goes! Hopefully my main tree produces eventually.
Makes since now why my mulberry from the box store is not fruiting. All my cuttings are producing, unbelievable!
Hi
I have Pakistan Mulberry tree that I grew from a cutting .It fruit every year but all the berries fall on the ground without any to mature up .Some berries are as long as 3 inch long ,I am in North Carolina .What can I do to get berries that stay on the tree and mature ,This tree is 12 years old and it did Cary berries from year one
some fruit drop is normal. Entire canopy every year for 12 years is not. I would check if there is a problem with the root system. Does the tree look healthy? is it super windy in your area? do you have stuff eating the roots of your plant? 12 years, your tree should be full size 30-50ft tall with a massive trunk.
@@qctropicals Hi
The tree is about 40 feet high and it look very very healthy and it has big trunk and big roots that branch every where it can move ,Yes some time we have wind but I also have other fruit trees like beach ,apple , pear ,they all give fruit they all live in the same windy condition .The fruit start before the leaves and it start getting a healthy white color berries then it start falling without wind .Thanks for trying to answer me .
@@marwanelfaysal8427 are you sure you don't have a male?. Male mulberries will fruit but fruits don't fully develop and drop prematurely.
Will cuttings from a 3 year old tissue grown tree fruit normally at proper times? Or will it be delayed
I haven't tried it but it should readily fruit like any other cutting.
@@qctropicals thank you, I am going to find out soon once I get cuttings from my tissue culture tree
Lol at calling out the Pakistani specifically. I bought a few tc fig trees from baker creek seeds and they all fruited for me about the second or third year. Around the same time I also bought a tc Pakistani and a dwarf everbearing grown from cutting, the dwarf has fruited every year but the Pakistani has yet to put out a flower. It's been at least 5 years, still nothing.
I also bought a Brown Turkey fig from Home Depot that I believe is tc grown, it was one of the first trees I got when the gardening addiction kicked in and it hasn't put out a single fruit.
I found a neighbor with a huge mulberry tree is there a benefit of having a male and female next to each other
no
I get like 10 mulberries a freaking year. So annoying. I have nothing but distain for my Pakistani mulberry tree.
Your problem with your supplier is repeated in videos or High density University experimental plots . They order sampling with feather branches . And it's a long negotiating process with the wholesale nursery. The research stations wants feathered tree and the wholesalers say they will provide the. And yet when the trees arrive they are not feathered
My tree fruited the first spring. I planted the fall before. I absolutely love it. I must have gotten the real deal.
This crap is why I don't go to Nurseries any longer. I've been burned to many times on Bogus BS!
So why did you choose to mainly focus on Pakistan mulberry trees instead of other species? Thanks
my third year in the ground and yup its HUGe...finally fruiting this year !!!
Hi I live in zone 4b can I bay a Pakistani mulberry trees from you thanks
you're too cold
Do u have an Etsy store. I’m looking for Pakistan mulberry
etsy and website
Thanks for your info. Everyone appreciates it.
Someone said you need to prune the tree for the hormones to fruit instead of push for growth.
OK, I got a interesting scenario for you. I bought cuttings from EBay of ever bearing dwarf mulberries. They where rooted and grown for about 6 months. I then took a scion from a Home Depot Pakistan mulberry and grafted it to the Dwarf rootstock. The tree took off and is now about 7-8 feet tall. It is looking really healthy. I have been pinching the tips so it will branch out more. I was expecting it to produce some fruit this spring but, nothing. I have a ever bearing dwarf next to this one and is about 4 months older and 14' tall. It is loaded with fruit. Both get the same water, sunlight and fertilizer. Do you think I will have to wait very long for the Pakistani to produce?
wait until next spring. How many seasons have you been thru with this pakistan?
@@qctropicals Only one season, I just thought because it being on ever bearing root stock it would produce right away. I am not in a rush. I got 3 of these, two at home and one at camp. I also grafted 3 more a couple of weeks ago and I grafted Pakistan to the ever bearing tree. All grafts were successful and started leafing out.
@@drthuntclub4153 that would be a gardening myth homie. Root stock has no bearing on what the scion will or not do.
Honesty is the only option. Good work bro. Keep it up.
Is this the case for Persian Mulberry as well? I have a 5 gallon, 6ft tall I got from a local nursery, not yet planted, that is growing but doesn't seem to have any flower or fruit. Tangential question but seeing your hoop house brought it up: Where do you recommend keeping young rooted cuttings of trees in containers, in terms of sun/shade? They're awaiting planting but living in pots for now. I'm in Southern California, 3000ft elevation, windy site but lots of sun available too. Thanks!
every plant is different but mulberry can be in full sun no problem unless they're in the rooting process. If you just bought your tree you probably missed flowering season, just wait until next year.
@@qctropicals That makes sense, thanks. When you say "In the rooting process" do you mean that first year after planting, or after, say, up-potting a rooted cutting? Best to provide it some shade in those circumstances? Thanks for all the fantastic info
@@joekunin If it has roots, don't worry about the sun. Mulberry trees are bullet proof once they have roots. I always shade my cuttings as the sun will dry them out.
Thanks, great info!
its been making me nuts, thank you! i was so close to chopping them down. i will keep waiting :) thanks so much
:)
Hello! Brother, what is the difference between Pakistani Big Black Mulberry and Big White Mulberry? I want the black variety, but often the market sells the white variety by falsely labeling it. Can you please tell me how to differentiate between the two?
friend, black is black and white is white lol!. Otherwise you won't be able to tell just by looking at the foliage, they both look the same when young.
I don't expect fruit on any of my trees be they apple,pear,cherry or mulberry until they are 5 years old. I don't expect pecans or walnuts until 10 years or more. Not dissatisfied
I have mulberry plant over 3 years, I PRUNE them hard, fertilizer, no fruits❤ how do I know, if the mulberry is make or female? They don't tell you, now I DON'T know, if my tree bare fruit or not or what sex is the tree❤ any help I get, I appreciate ❤
you won't know until it flowers.
We're seeing the same experience with tissue cultured figs.
Thank you for this! It explains a lot.

Great information! Thank you!
So I bought large one from nursery in Plant city for $80 and 3 years later still no fruits. Thinking of getting rid of it.
just give it time
Do male trees even exist in mulberries ?
Now I’m worried about the one I just got!
Good lesson thanks for sharing
thx for the video I bought one from Shamus of Greenlife last year and mine looks just like the one you showed, Lots of healthy growth but no fruit. Very disappointed
At least now you know it will eventually fruit. Hopefully you bought it cheap.
Interesting. That's where I bought it too , in 2020. Guess I will have to wait.
@@CRlifeisgood what size was yours. Mine was about 6-7 feet tall
@@knicks252525 same
Arbequina olive trees are not flowering either, they've been in ground and growing beautifully tall for at least 5? years. This is good information, my Vodasta produced ALOT this year after several years in the ground... one mulberry from my Pakistan this year too (wow, huge and tasty but, only one! Voldasta is DELICIOUS) I'm calling it worth the wait.
This explains why my huge PM wasn't fruiting. I was bemoaning it was a male tree, and then this year, it burst with hundreds of fruits. I was stunned. But this makes sense now! Thanks!
How many years did it take?
U should air layer the 100 Pakistani mulberry trees and double ur yeild
I waited 3 yrs for my male mulberry to flower no fruits so what good does a male tree do?
shade. you can graft onto it.
I am on year three of a tissue culture Pakistan Mulberry, it is about 8 to 10 ft. tall, about 1-3/4" caliper trunk and still not fruiting..... :(
longest one I've seen take to fruit is 6 years
@@qctropicals Crossing my fingers for year 4! lol! I am also growing it in a pot so that maybe slowing it down some too. I will never knowingly buy a tissue culture plant again! I have a few TC figs as well and they are the worst growers I have out of 30+ types..... :(
Great info. My sister in law has a mulberry tree that appears to be a Pakistan. Extremely long berries, tasty, but not as juicy as the native ones I find on my farm. The wild ones I find vary in taste from tree to tree. Some are bland and some delicious. I knew most seed grown fruits take awhile to mature and fruit but didn't know that tissue culture plants were like that also. I'll have to get some cuttings from her tree and try it out.
I have a 25 ft Pakistani Mulberry . Someone complained and then the seller told us that it was tissue culture. I was pissed.
The tree eventually fruited two yrs in a row , but last yr I trimmed it way down and it didnt fruit this yr .
I am so pissed. Lesson learnt.
I dont want another tissue culture plant.
Thanks for this video. For people like me, who are looking to get trees growing and aren't looking to get fruit immediately, I wouldn't mind getting a tissue cultured tree. However, it's good to know what to look for so I won't expect fruit too soon from them.
Thank you brother
You were right about mine. I bought mine at the "S-O" nursery in Phoenix and it still has not shown any fruit, this is its 3rd year in the ground. I am praying for next year.
maybe call them up and ask for a refund or exchange? Any reputable nursery shouldn't have any issues.

Yes
"you gave it magical juices" *chef's kiss*
Sorry for your story. But persevere🎉
I was wondering - if you propagate a cutting from TC tree that hasn’t fruited yet, like mine, will it inherit the same clock and won’t fruit for several years or will it behave like normal cuttings - possibly fruit the very next year or earlier?
I’ll try it anyway, since my Pakistani doesn’t fruit again this year, I will be pruning it heavily for shape for possible next year production
I know someone who did just that last year. I'm gonna ask her to see if she got fruit from her cuttings this year. Personally, I used all those for root stock.
@@qctropicals did you get any more info from her? Very interested
I have the same question about cuttings. I’m in year two with what I think must be a three y/o TC.

@@fordguyfordguy Should have a few 1 gallons for sale in about a month.
same experience w/dwarf everbearing. start of year 3, all was good. was definitely a tissue culture...learned something new!
I grew one from cutting last year but this year it won’t with no fruit. Odd
@@jkim5221 I'm not fully convinced that rooted cuttings will always fruit the first few years.
Hi brother,
I would like to talk to you about my mulberry tree which isn't fruiting.it's a big tree now. Xan you give me your contact information please. Thanks.
contact me thru any of my social media outlets or email me. Info in the description of any video.
Thanks for this…. I guess I bought one of those….😢
They're all over the U.S. Nurseries who just buy and resale will never notice.
I didn't get fruit on mine until the 3rd yr and on the fourth it died in a March late freeze. The nursery said they do that in a freeze and to mulch it heavily on new trees when it freezes.
They can take a lot of cold until your soil freezes solid though. Where do you live?
@@qctropicals Northern calif. zone 9A. The soil doesn't freeze here, I don't think.
I caught that at 11 seconds. ROFL!
geez man, it seems everybody thinks that stuff is some type of magical juice. I wonder where they get their information from...
