Neglected Mulberry Trees in Nevada: Hard Prune and Water

Moved to NV, husband neglected 2 large mulberries. Deep drip watering 45 min 3×/wk. Foliage returning, but bark peeling on one, dead tops on both.

Mulberries Are Tough

Cut all dead wood — they resprout vigorously. We cut 15 ft to 3 ft, now taller.

Current schedule good for recovery. Reduce to 1×/week once established.
