Growing (black) mulberry tree from cuttings

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

Hello all from Sydney, Australia.

I have a mulberry tree in my backyard and it has wonderful black mulberries which grow on it every year. Since we are moving to a new place I decided to carry some cuttings with me so I can grow it in our new place.

Thing is, I don't know how to do that. I don't think that the tree is even grafted because it has been there for decades even before we lived in this current residence.

The tree is in full blossom at the moment and leaves and young fruits are there by the plenty right now, so I don't even know where to cut. Please see the photos for more clarification:

I can take more pictures if you guys want to make things clear.

Moreover I have bought this product from Bunnings: Seed raising and cutting mix:

Could you please tell me,

1) Where do I need to cut the branch / sticks / nodes

2) Proper procedure to plant, water and maintain to ensure the cuttings start growing

3) Anything else I might have missed

I would really appreciate your help as this tree is very special to me.

Thank you very much!
