Yeah. You're right. I need to gather more video across the seasons to make it clear and do it step-by-step. I was just too eager to film... the way the trees are responding to a low-coppice pruning method got me excited to share. - Mark
Right. Sorry. I should have been more clear. For the mulberries you see in the video that already have 10-20 leaders, I will prune them in the late spring or early summer after harvest. If I were doing an initial planting, I would do my first low prune in the winter. The system we are trying is similar to the KGB method shown in this video: th-cam.com/video/M_95Kmv1CRs/w-d-xo.html. But it is definitely not identical to that system because mulberries fruit on new wood and cherries fruit on second year + wood. Hopefully I can make it clearer in a video this winter when there aren't so many darn leaves :)! - Mark
Great advice, but a bit hard to see what is going on. Looking forward to future videos.

Good tips. I may have missed it but did you cover timing? Wondering if I should prune back my trees now or wait until dormant season. Thanks.
