I'm interested in this info too. I actually have an old specimen of I guess a red mulberry on my property and I would love to get a few more planted but the last time I took cuttings they didn't root.

They root easier while dormant, but still shouldn't be a problem. I used 1' or so cuttings, don't have too much leaf on it as it will lose moisture with too much leaf. Keep 'em moist. Not in water as that's different roots and they might just fall off. Hormone optional. I have four different mulberry trees.

Mulberry cuttings root quite easily. I put 3 in a 3 gallon pot, using standard potting soil. I do use rooting hormone. Two to three nodes under ground will give you the best chance of success. 12" to 18" tall works well. Use the hardwood, not new green branches.

I LOVE Mulberries! I wonder why that fella doesn't eat them?

Once established, you can prune them back to 5-6' tall every summer. It is easier to pick fruit when the trees are smaller. They fruit on new growth, so cutting them back hard does not mean a loss of harvest at all.

Congrats on your score!

The birds planted a mulberry on my property line,years ago, and it has gotten HUGE ! this spring it is full of birds of different kinds, there is a flock of maybe 200 birds here I have never seen before, abt. the size of a female cardinal and somewhat the same coloring, a chirpy little bird..... the tree is a black mulberry very sweet, but the limbs are too high now to get any.... but it is easy to root..so I plan on trying to get another one I can control, from taking a whip this year and rooting it....... sally
