- You can make 5 trees from one branch! In this video, I show you how! Mulberry is one of the easiest, most enjoyable trees to grow from cuttings. Once they're in the pot, I water the cuttings like I water any other plant.
I’m not even through this video yet and I already know that I am SUBSCRIBING to you!!!! Straight to the point, and packed with great information!👍😊🌱
Thanks!!! Welcome! 👍🏽🌴🌲
@@AJTheGraftMan 😊
Nice video. Very informative. I do find mulberry trees very easy to propagate from cuttings. I do it slightly different to your way. Because mulberry cuttings root very easily, I don't pamper them by wrapping each one like you did. I jet get a bundle of 4-5, depending on how thick they are, I loosely tied them up into a bundle. It is just a simple matter of putting the bundle into a potting mix. To keep the cuttings moist, I put a single-use plastic bag over the cuttings. The bag slipped over the pot, and I simply tie a string to keep the bag in place. Every couple of days, I removed the bag, water the pot, and put the bag back over the pot.
There is a more elaborate way to keep the cutting moist at all time without having to remove the plastic bag. But that will be another story.
That looks longer than 8 inches lol
ya in hindsight it is lol
Wow! thank you for sharing your skill. Your Pakistan variety is very rare in the Philippines. Im interested to have it to plant in my small farm here in the Philippines. Thank you.
Excellent Vid-thank you-Please do follow-up. What zone are you? How do you maintain your humidity with the new cuttings?
Thanks. I’m in zone 10. I leave many of my cuttings indoors in the most humid room of my place. My area is pretty humid usually so I also leave cuttings outdoors in the shade mostly
hi can you plant large logs in the ground will thay grow
Enjoyed the video thanks
So is the tree fruitful and ready when it’s big, or you have to graft another fruitful branch into this when it’s big enough? Thanks for the video 👍
These cuttings are exact clones of the mother tree, so no need to graft onto them. They will eventually grow big and produce fruits just like the mother tree
can you plant mulberry cutting right in the ground our side and will thaqy grow if i keep the ground wet
I don't understand. Is this a question or a statement?
@@AJTheGraftMan question can you put mulberry cuting in the ground out side will thay grow
Hello.how long can mulberry cuttings survive during transportation(.. about 5-7days)?ü..t.i.a.
Mulberry cuttings can survive fine for that timeframe. Just make sure they’re stored in an airtight, sealed container, and try to keep them as warm as possible
Thank you so much for the video! What is that yellow container by your foot? Did you use rootbound?
Thanks. It’s rooting hormone. You can certainly use that if you want, but it’s not necessary
Thank you!🥰🥰
That's awesome!
We can create a forest
@@AJTheGraftMan that would be so cool!
@@AJTheGraftMan mulberry trees grow well with begonias & (black) walnut trees in the USA. I've been researching how to set up my garden in a way that I can use it to pay for my old age once I get there. I've read that healthcare costs $70k per year in elder years but idk if I will be able to pay all of my bills with my current income. I think if my boys only have to work a day or so at the ranch they'll be ok with that, so long as it's not like they have to be there for their entire lives. :)
@@kristinatidwell6563 mulberry trees grow fast and vigorous in most areas of USA. It’s a great tree and super rewarding because it gives so many fruits. Most people love them :)
Prend un éplucheur !😊 Take a peeler bro, thanks from France for your vids
I was always told to put rocks in the bottom to allow for better draining not to clog the holes 😊
And to keep your medium from dropping out the holes in the bottom.
If you have to put something in the bottom try window screen.
Hi AJthegraftman, great video thankyou. What variety is this you propagated? I’ve been trying to take cuttings from a 100plus year old morus nigra (black mulberry) but with little success. Got one success out of 100 cuttings. Not going to give up and still learning
Thanks! The variety is mentioned in the beginning of the video. Some take better than others. Don’t give up!
Try softwood cuttings. I can't speak to black mulberry but red and white strike near 100% from softwood. I like to take them earlier in the season because it's raging hot now but I bet it'll still work with a cloche or bag covering the cutting.
Love a man that can plant some mulberry ☺🤣
I’ve planted many 🌴😉🤣
I planted many mulberry trees and can also plant human trees in your belly by give you my seed and plant it inside you like seed of orchard and tree will be baby
I had a bad pear tree,caused Canker fungus on my mulberry tree in spot on branches...I spray with Neem oil, nothing help...What a crying shame...Grafted trees are waste where I live,insects attack...To much work but it hurt my precious mulberry... Mulberry prone to canker so anyone,do not bring home strange grafted stock,could pass something into your orchard..I am ready to mow down twenty three fruit trees just to keep my precious mulberry's disease free...Mulberry's gift from god...Every home should have.. It is not worth it,never be greedy,be happy with Mulberry's...All we need
that sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. Yes mulberry is gift from god, i agree. A very special tree indeed. I hope you can save your trees
Ours get fireblight, not sure if that's the same as canker, but a mature, established tree will tolerate quite a lot. I prune dead or severely affected branches, and now the tree is about 35 years old.
beautiful video. i have a couple of cutting in water and two in soil. great advise.
Cool, thanks!
This was one of the best vid on this subject. I'll update you if mine work!
Thanks! Yes let me know🌴🌴
Did it work
DID IT WOOOOORK!?!?!
Did not work☹. Not the same type of mulberry tree though. I've tried other types of methods with no success.
I'll try again this summer, with the new shoots that are coming out now. Ask again at the end of summer!
That’s a shame
Hi, thank you for your very informative and educational video! One question though, how old should the branch be that you use? Same year growth? Last years growth? Thank you so much for your help 😊
Either one can work
Hi AJthegraftman, great video thankyou. What variety is this you propagated? I’ve been trying to take cuttings from a 100plus year old morus nigra (black mulberry) but with little success. Got one success out of 100 cuttings. Not going to give up and still learning
Thanks! Pakistan Mulberry
Was the rooted cutting at the end a Packistani mulberry? When was it started? Was the tree dormant when you started it? Do they root more easily depending on when you take the cuttings? Were discussing rooting successes of Packistani Mulberry right now in queen creek tropicals... come and chime in?
All of your questions are answered in the video. Enjoy!
:) yeah like pros:). I put my small jars in a big pot, and cover it with a big plastic bag, and open it twice a week for ariation...
I see the bar loaded with weights in the background, do you have a welded bench for pecs or you make some squats and biceps with'em? :)
Good job bro can't wait to see the outcome please keep us informed thank you for your hard work
Thank you
Nice video. Great idea on the wrapping the cutting with grafting tape. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Did you wrap the cutting that lies upper level of the potting media with the Nods / without the Nods?
@@hasnatchowdhury7566 yes above the soil, I wrapped the nodes and everything else. Below the soil, I left the cutting unwrapped.
No one:….
Him: let me rip my tree out it’s pot show you the roots 😂my guy ✊🏻
😂
This dude was toasted. Thanks for the knowledge though bro I just found a white mulberry tree near me and I’m trying it
What makes you say that? He's totally coherent.
Besides who cares if he was. Curious.
I watched it again & see his 'dreamy' eyes. lol
Still he is totally there if indeed he is.
Hi Ajmal, may I know how long roughly will the roots form from the cutting.?
Hard to say. Depends on many factors like temperature, humidity, soil type, etc.
I put some cuttings of Pakistani Mulberry in water first, then in a mixture of 1/3 rd sand, perlite and peat moss, and put them in the garage, average temperature 67 during winter in Sacramento. They started developing shoots, but NO ROOTS. What should I do? Pluck off all shoots and bring them inside? Please advise
Wax can also be used in place of the tape. You must be down in California with that kind of growth rate.
Could be Arizona, mulberries adore their weather.
Thanks for this video. I just got cuttings and I'm going to follow your instructions.
Can you send me or sell me a rooted cutting and it a white mulberry
If you are in my area, I have some rooted cuttings available
Love the video bro,I just started a bunch of native mulberry cutting as well as my dwarf eveybearing,trying to find the this guy calls worlds best,he sells cuttings I hear ,but the mulberries are huge ,great video keep it up
You mentioned your grafting tape would be linked in the description but it's not there. Could you reply to my comment with the link?
Ive never used hormones or anything on mulberry ive literally taken the cutting put into a pot with soil and nothing else, with 90% success
I've done this too. Works well
Mine are growing very well, however, the ones I gave to my family aren’t doing so good which is kind of strange.
Yo aJ.. great video!! .. im have a cutting..indoor plant..and it wont root yet (6 weeks)..by seeing you did ..with the knife till it went a bit white.. ..now i did the same ..so i think this cutting will show root on the scraped section.. thank you for that .. its in a glas of water again.. so i do hope there wil come roots at the scraped section..
i dont know what plant it is..i took it from a friends plant.. ..its still got green leaves..so it does still live..
just wait and see ..exiting
hi5 mén..ciao 🌱🌿🌴🤘😊
Thank you! I hope your cutting grows roots 🌳🌴🙂
I am confused
When should I take and plant cutting
If anyone knows please let me know
I think the grafting tape makes a big difference. Rooted 2/3 Pakistani Mulberry cuttings in about two weeks. Thanks for the tip.
Nice. Sure thing. 2 weeks is fast!
Can I buy pakistani long white mulberry plant or cutting from u
I used water soluble fertilizer 20-20-20 with trace minerals diluted to 2.0EC to water the cuttings . (my soil mix was sterile coco coir and perlite that had no fertilizer in it ) is that OK or will it cause rot due to too much Nitrogen?
Good question. I don’t think cuttings need that much fertilizer.
In your experiment you did not add any kind of rooting hormone to the base of the cutting?
I’ve done these cuttings with the rooting hormone and also without it. I noticed there is no difference. The cuttings will grow without the rooting hormone, but they will grow faster with it.
Great video, ty can’t wait for that update!
Thanks Matthew
Please tell me if I can graft a native Mulberry rootstock with my white shahtoot Saiyans this month thanks Larry in Alabama month January and I will take
You certainly can. Good luck
Wow. I failed a few times. I would definitely try again!
Good job, are you in Canada or USA?
US
Thank you for an excellent video. When is the best time to put the cuttings in the ground?
Thanks. Best time is spring and early summer.
Great explanation! Very thorough and easy to understand for a newbie like me. Thank you!
Thanks!
Did you amend the potting soil with vermiculite? Can you add a bit more info. on the best propagating medium/soil? Thanks!
I’ll do a video about best soil for cuttings
How often do you water the newly planted cuttings? Or just soak it before planting, plant it and then leave it alone?
Once a week. Very little water, maybe a few ounces
@ajmal31 I recently built a 10'x16' green house with a circulation fan for my wife's garden. I was wondering if you thought I could start mine in a pot like yours but keep them in the greenhouse instead of indoors? I live in Georgia and it's middle of July here. By the way, great video.
Ya it’s fine to keep in a greenhouse. If the greenhouse has high heat and humidity, I would avoid wrapping the cutting with grafting tape. The rest of steps remain the same. Thanks for watching
Littt!
thank you 👍👏🤝
Hi! How long before you can move outside? And do you have the follow up video on how to do so? Thank you! Loved the video.
Thanks! I move the cutting outside once there is more than one growth flush on it. More than one growth flush usually means the roots are growing well. I would move it outside in the spring or summer. Fall or winter can get too cold for a young cutting. I don't have a follow up video. I will do one soon. The cutting in this video is now well grown and is planted in the ground at my cousin's house.
Can you grow white shahtoot mulberry from cuttings? Never got success, seems like impossible to root them!
I've never tried growing the white. I hear it's tough to do.
You said that the rooted cutting you have is 6 months old. And you said the ideal time for cutting is spring. Can you tell me please when exactly you took the cutting of the rooted plant ? Thank you
About 6 months before I did this video.
Can I keep the cuttings on water if I cannot plant them yet?
I would keep them in an a ziplock bag with a few drops of water, then close the bag airtight and put it in the fruits and vegetables part of the refrigerator
@@AJTheGraftMan how long can I keep them in the fridge?
Elsa Antonio Ventura up to a month
@@AJTheGraftMan I have cuttings soaking in water since Jan 18 and they are actively growing buds getting green and opening slowly but no roots yet. I wanted to wait a little bit longer until it’s not too cold to plant them in pots. What do you think?
Elsa Antonio Ventura that sounds like a good idea. Better to plant in warmer weather
I bought a 3 gallon mulberry tree (about 5 ft tall) a week ago, it has a lot of fruits with very young leaves. Can I up-pot the plant into a larger pot size now? The weather here in Vancouver, BC (its been raining a lot with a high of 14C and low of 7C) is still very cold. Also can I give the plant fertilizer too? Thank you !!
Should be ok to up-pot. The tree will appreciate all that rain. Mulberry roots are tough and aggressive, and it’s a forgiving tree to transplant and move to bigger containers. I’d hold off on the fertilizer until the weather warms up a bit
Thank you for your great video. I really learned something from you today.
Thanks!
I m from Pakistan😂
😂
🙏🏼💥
Love the video. I'm in Cyprus and thinking of growing non fruiting Mulberry trees to form canapé for shade. I would need these to be in pots to avoid roots taking up patio. Do you think they would survive in pots? The pots can be large.
Thanks! Yes I grow mine in pots as well. They do fine in pots
Is it a must to wrap the plant with a huge plastic bag and wait for month only unwrapped It?
Not a must, but it helps
Ngon lắm hih
Is it a lot better to start new growth in a pot, or is that just so you can give them to other people? Couldn't I just plant the cuttings directly in the locations I want the trees?
Yes you can plant directly in the ground in the spots you want. I did some videos on this as well. Look for them on my channel!
Please please 🙏 My mulberry tree is 3 years old but the stem and leaves becoming yellow what about I do . please
Ask a local nursery about testing your soil; applying a balanced fertilizer might help in the meantime.
sir what month of the year should we do the cuttings to reproduce the mulbery tree ? thanks
Winter, spring
Could you have just planted the whole 6 ft piece you cut off into ground?
@@jeffpearson2645 i did a video about this on my channel. Check itnm out here: ua-cam.com/video/MrDkVj1R4iw/v-deo.htmlsi=-1_ADnYJKU476Uum
Hello Im wondering if I could buy some cuttings from you? Send it to Sweden where I live
Unfortunately I don’t ship internationally. If you ever come to California let me know
Give me that unused barbell behind of you
I have Planted with Mulberry seed its 5 months old plant now how many year it will start fruitig ?
depends on many factors. Usually it produces fruit within 2 years.
What’s the best fertilizer for a Pakistan Mulberry tree. Yours looks so healthy.
I don’t remove the mulberry leaves that fall under the tree in the winter. The leaves stay under the tree and provide nutrition as they break down
Nice video my friend thank you I have to ask can you keep them outside I know you said put them inside but I want to grow like five of these I just ordered on eBay some of the cuttings and I just like to know can I leave them out side throughout the spring the rest of the spring in the summer thank you
Depends how hot it gets. I wouldn’t leave them in the hot late afternoon sun. I’d let them stay in the morning sun
So glad I found your UA-cam. I need help from you. How to save my mulberry which was wrapped in a plastic bag as green house? I want to unwrap it but I am scare it might not survive as most of my friends did.
Thanks. Is it dying? I’d keep it indoors in a warm room if it’s in a pot
Thks for your suggestion. It is not dying yet as I have not unwrapped it. But I will have to unwrap it by the 20th of Nov. As that is exactly one month by then it is in the plastic bag. I will put it in a warm room like you suggest if I unwrapped it. I hope it will survive
How big do the Pakistan variety get? Do all the varieties grow fast?
They can get big, like 40 to 60 feet tall. But with consistent pruning you can keep them smaller. There are some Dwarf varieties out there.
Hi ajmal
Thanks for beautiful video aways 👍😊
Thanks for watching 🌴🌲🌳
Very helpful! Thank you for sharing! :)
how often do you water the pot? thanks for sharing
Once a week and it’s kept indoors at room temperature in a bright room
And smoke it ..........lol,sorry I couldnt help myself
Might be a silly question but at what point can you put the rooted plant into the ground?
The mulberry root system is aggressive and vigorous, so even the young cutting I show at the end of the video is ready to go in the ground. As long as it has a developed root system, it can go in the ground
Did you dip cutting into a hormone powder ? Can peat moss & coco coir be use
Hormone powder helps, but is not necessary. I’ve never used coco coir
That's impressive...
Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Learned a lot today...thanks a lot and GOD BLESS
Glad to help.. God Bless
Is buying a pakistan mulberry plant grown from a tissue cultured a wise buy? Learning alot from your teaching. Thanks
Thanks. I’m not sure. I don’t have experience with tissue culture mulberries
@@AJTheGraftMan I just heard my answer from someone who has a nursery and it just popped up on my screen. He Spoke that it takes as if it was grown from a seed
So it will take longer to produce fruit. Just to let you know that Info. I rather buy cutting from a producing tree and not from a lab. Do you sell cuttings? Enjoy your channel.
How many weeks do i need to wait to see some leaf growth u reckon?
Depends on many factors like weather, soil, watering schedule, etc.
I want some cuttings.
Can't you keep part of the leaf on? That's what they do around here but idk if it helps. They cut half the leaf off but still keep 1 or 2 on for photosynthesis.
You can yes. That works well too
@@AJTheGraftMan ahhh okay do you know which method is more beneficial or less harming?
Thsts awesome, thanks for the vid...
After buying a single cutting just to test out and then later learning they can sometimes just be male or female rather than complete, I'm now worried LOL. It's still not flowering so I still have no way of knowing. It's already at 5 mos now but it's in a pot.
Do you do consulting in Los Angeles? Need a fig grafted. How to contact you?
yes. Email me. ajsgarden123@gmail.com
Thanks so much for this video
Thank you so much for your very helpful info on Mulberry trees! I have a question please. A branch accidentally broke off of my Pakistan Mulberry tree. The branch is about one inch or 2.5 cm in diameter and about two feet long with leaves and two other smaller branches coming from it. Question: Is is possible to grow new roots on this branch so it can live? If so, do i have to remove the leaves? Or can I just keep the leaves attached? For now, I have placed the branch in a bucket of water. I don't know if this is a good idea? If you can give me advice I would so appreciate. Thank you!
Yes you can grow new roots on your branch. I had a similar situation to yours and I did a video about it. You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/MrDkVj1R4iw/v-deo.html
It’s ok to keep it in water in the meantime. Good luck.
@@AJTheGraftMan thank you for your wonderful info!
AJ you are the best!
I will try it.
Did you use any type of booster gel for the bottem?
No booster gel.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Would dipping it in wax or using electrical tape be the same as the grafting tape?
Not sure. I’ve never tried those methods
Electrical tape is far too thick, but grafting wax might work.
Hi.i live in UK. Will bulberry tree grow in cold climate?your video is one of the best i have seen.
Thanks. Yes it can, but it has a hard time handling very cold weather, like weeks of sub zero temperatures, for example. Depends on the variety too. Some varieties handle cold a lot better
@@AJTheGraftMan thanks for your reply.i have got a tree from pakistan at the moment its still cold here so I have kept it indoor.its one with long big fruit.i will plant outside once the weather gets better.thank you somuch for your reply.
Dingdongs Garden just did a good video on varieties and cold tolerance....
The reason to put something in the holes is to prevent the hole from clogging so that water is able to flow well.
Curved, broken terra cotta pot pieces are ideal.
It likely depends in what soil you use. I have had problems with clogging myself.
He is right, though. You still want it to freely drip when watered. I think he probably just uses soil that clogs the small holes less.
Can you do the same with avocado?
Not sure. I’m trying a few at the moment
thanks 👍😉📚
Sir is that soil or sand that you put and the pot.
Soil mix
Awesome.
