I just planted a 4' tall mulberry willow last year, now I will be moving to go off grid. When is best time to dig up and move it? It is about 5' tall now with about a 3" base.
Thanks Cher
Thanks Cher
Thank you I was thinking that but not sure. What if I sold my house and have to move, could I do it sooner if I had to? It is already loaded with new berrys coming on.Mulberry are hard to kill, but if I had my choice I would transplant in the Fall after leaf drop
Sure, what is ideal and what you have to do is two different things. Keep as much root mass as you can and when it's transplanted keep it moist with good long soakings a couple times a week. I like to transplant when dormant if possible but it certainly can be done during the growing season.
ThanksIt should be fully dormant. Avoid any budding stages.
Landscape supply companies. Fabric store burlap might be too thin and for decoration only. Plus a landscape supply will sell a basket to put it in and support and shape the root ball.
Cher, around here a mulberry is a weed tree. Birds plant them by the dozens by simply sitting on a fence and doing their business. Why do anything more strenuous for a 4 to 5 foot tree?
I havent seen any new ones from the bird droppings, also there are alot of new sprouts at the bottom of the tree I have to keep cutting back so it doesnt take from the main one. Can I use those? They might be attached to the tree though.That is why I advised you move the seeds.
