Just want to thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have 2 contorted Mulberries that were actually given to me by a friend a few years ago because she decided that she didn't have room to plant them. They are such cool plants. Now that they are getting a little bigger, I'd like to take some cuttings and start more. They are right at the stage that you recommend, so I really appreciate finding your video.
Thank you for that. Don't know if you have ever seen the contorted type, but they are such a neat plant. Can't believe I got them for free. Wish I could share you a picture here. Lol! @@DaveTheHillsideGardener
I grew red mulberry from seed and these trees grow faster than anything, it's crazy, I never tried cuttings but obviously it must be easier than most, so far for me fig trees are the easiest to grow from cuttings..aside from the obvious hybrid willow and poplar, for some reason I keep failing to propagate murray cypress..probably just too hot out when I do it yeah these trees get huge, great trees for wildlife as well, they really like full sun
I just popped mine in sterile soil, meaning no food and a mixture of sand and coconut coir, and they grew roots, there pretty easy to grow, also they don't need a humidity dome
Most states in the US are humid enough to not needed a humidity dome for cuttings like mulberry. However, for people live in the Southwest, or the desert if they want to root a mulberry cutting, a humidity dome would be helpful.
This is wonderful! We have a big Mulberry Tree and I've been wondering how to do this!! I am curious as to what to do with them in the winter. We live in Missouri and we get freezing weather and lots of snow. When they are young like those in the video should I bring them inside? I do have grow tents. Large ones. I also have the grow lights set up for growing other plants. 😂 Any information would be very helpful! I really appreciate you. Your video is very informative and easy to understand! I really appreciate that it's you speaking and not the recorded kind of voice! Thank you very much and I'll be subscribing to your chanel and will be watching more of your videos! Thanks again!! 😊
I would keep them indoor for the first winter as they are very tender. The following spring you can divide and let grow out and plant in your garden. Just be wary deer will much in them. Good luck and I’ll see you again
did you poke holes underneath the propagating container? if NO holes did you not add water until they’re fully rooted? you NEED to say in detail re the container, soil, etc.
I didn't hear you mentioned what kind of soil you used in the jar. That's more important than a lot of other things you talked about. Some people has low success rate because they used regular soil which has bacteria, so the cuttings rotted before they rooted. Still, some other people also have about 70 % success rate when they just simply sticked the cutting into the outside raised beds since mulberry, forsythia, fig.... are easier to root comparing to other kinds of cuttings. Since you have high success rate ( looked like more than 90% the cuttings rooted), so it 's necessary to know what kind of soil you used. Thank you for sharing.
I prefer a peat or coco coir base with a bunch of perlite mixed in. And it needs to be free draining or don’t over water. I also open about once every two days to let in fresh air
@@DaveTheHillsideGardener ChatGPT says 50/50 peat/perlite or coco/perlite. I have about a 70% success rate with petunias with this, although I think I may be keeping the humidity too high since I cover them completely for several weeks... next try I'll keep humidity high but not 100%. Although 100% for almost a month worked on a begonia leaf cutting I successfully propagated.
How do you get them out of the jar? Seems like you would have to disturb the roots, which would also be very tangled because of the number of cuttings.
Yes. Wait until late winter and take hardwood cuttings keep damp not wet and humid. When you see new growth gradually decrease humidity and start to water a bit
Hello, Dave! Im attempting to save a mulberry tree I’ve lived next to for the last 7 years- the neighbors sold the property last week, and construction started yesterday. Theyre cutting down all the trees on Monday. Its the start of winter, and im not sure the tree is totally dormant; Is there a way to have a successful propagation from a cutting in the begging of winter? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Take young hardwood cuttings. Put in a box of sand and keep it just slightly moist until spring. Check out @Mike Kincaid channel. He does an awesome job teaching propagation from his nursery. Good luck!
@@DaveTheHillsideGardener One more question? I got these many cuttings from a very tall (8-10’?), potted nursery tree that only had branches way up on top. I kept cutting until there was only about a 4’ stump. Will the stump grow again? The bark still appears moist and slightly green. Was going to up pot it and give it a fresh start. (Was previously in a 3 gallon pot!) Thanks Dave!
Will it still root after the bud already started but no roots showing? I used clear cup inserted in solor cups, method called peekaboo cups. My ? Is will the cutting still root while showing leaves?
Don’t over think it. Cut in May. Zone 6b. I just put it in the plastic container. Plastic wrap over top and a rubber band to secure it. Partial sun not full on. About 4-6 weeks all things considered and you can separate into individual pots. Hope this helps

Glad that I could help. I hope this works for you. Mulberries propagate pretty easy. Just don’t cut where flowers or fruit are forming
Thank you for that. Don't know if you have ever seen the contorted type, but they are such a neat plant. Can't believe I got them for free. Wish I could share you a picture here. Lol! @@DaveTheHillsideGardener
Fantastic video - thanks for sharing and explaining in detail.
No problem hope this helps
Neat! You really break this down in a way that’s easy to understand and follow! Thanks for all your great tips!
I'm glad I could help. Good luck with your garden projects this year!

My mulberry is already fruiting one year after being grown from a cutting. I've never tried by seed but may give it a shot
@@DaveTheHillsideGardener Yeah that's the great thing about cuttings!
I just popped mine in sterile soil, meaning no food and a mixture of sand and coconut coir, and they grew roots, there pretty easy to grow, also they don't need a humidity dome
They can root easily depending on the time of year you take your cuttings
Most states in the US are humid enough to not needed a humidity dome for cuttings like mulberry. However, for people live in the Southwest, or the desert if they want to root a mulberry cutting, a humidity dome would be helpful.
I’ve had them grow just shoving them in the ground mid summer. Some grew. So be interesting just did the same here in Australia in winter.
Cheeze ball container! I got one too!
Recycling at its best!!
Nicely done ✔️
Thanks a bunch

No holes. Just get it moist and keep out of direct sun for a a few weeks and it should root.

Thnx Dave 👍🏽
No problem
Excellent shirt! Lol
You need one like it!
Aloe Vera gel will be good for rooting too😉
Haha that’s actually one of my upcoming videos. Great minds think alike.
How do you get them out of the jar? Seems like you would have to disturb the roots, which would also be very tangled because of the number of cuttings.
Just reach in and grab the soil and all. Make sure the jar you use has a wide mouth and you will be good to go
Love the shirt
Thanks! It was a present for my birthday a few years ago
In northern climates can you do fall cuttings and start indoors?
Yes. Wait until late winter and take hardwood cuttings keep damp not wet and humid. When you see new growth gradually decrease humidity and start to water a bit
@@DaveTheHillsideGardener Thanks.
Can you plant them when they have leafs already
It’s better to leave them too long than plant too early. I always let it go a bit longer until I have a nice root base formed
Did these cuttings root? Where is the video.
They all rooted and when they were big enough I gave them away to a friend since I have no room for a giant tree in my yard.

Have some starts rooting and they are putting on flowers! Do I pinch those off? Not quite rooted yet. Been only 2-3 weeks.
Thanks!
I would remove the flowers so the cuttings will focus on roots
@@DaveTheHillsideGardener
Thanks so much, Dave! I’m seeing roots on a couple of cutting starts that are in the skinny plastic bags! Yay!!
@@valeriesjeans excellent!! Spread the word and refer your friends to the channel

I’d stop cutting and let it grow the whole season now
Will it still root after the bud already started but no roots showing? I used clear cup inserted in solor cups, method called peekaboo cups. My ? Is will the cutting still root while showing leaves?
It should. But it’s never 100 percent success rate so I always take more cuttings than I need to account for losses
not enough info. exact time of year? what state? outside temp? bottom heat ? how long in pot before roots?
