Mulberry Tree Fruitlessness: Pollination Needs and Propagation

Why Your Mulberry Has No Berries

• Some cultivars are self-fertile; others need a pollinator.
• Many ornamentals are male or sterile selections.
• Identify variety via leaf/fruit photos (links provided).

Propagation

1. Cuttings (late spring): 6-inch with heel, hormone, warm wet sand, 8+ weeks.
2. Layering: Wound branch, bury, anchor with rock; sever next spring.

If fruit is desired, plant a known female/fruiting cultivar.
