Mulberry Pruning: Dormant Season Only for Goat-Damaged Branches

West TX ranch: mulberries pruned early spring, doing well. Goats/sheep eating low branches over fence. Can cut now?

Best Time: Dormant Season

Late fall (frost imminent) or early spring (before growth).
Never mid-growing season—shortens tree life.
Summer pruning stimulates tender growth killed by frost.

Cut Properly

Cut ¼″ from trunk (branch collar). No paint needed for small cuts.

Wait until leaves drop. Tree will be fine.
