Propagating Mulberry Trees from Cuttings

Cutting Procedure

1. Take 6-inch cuttings from healthy, disease-free softwood (green growth) in summer.
2. Strip all but top 2-3 leaves.
3. Dip cut end in rooting hormone.
4. Plant in 2-inch deep holes in a mix of equal parts sand (or fine gravel), peat, and perlite.
5. Ensure good drainage in a clean container.

Environment

• Create high humidity: cover with plastic or glass, or mist frequently.
• Keep out of direct sunlight.
• Rooting can take 100+ days.
