The need for mulberry cuttings arises when the gardener wants to get a tree with certain varietal characteristics as quickly as possible. Of course, the reproduction of the considered garden culture can pass with the help of seeds, but in this case you have to wait.
Cuttings can be carried out in summer time during the period of trimming unnecessary side runs. It should be noted that reproduction can take place with the help of green or semi-lignified shoots. green cuttings taken from a tree in June, when sanitary pruning of the plant is carried out. When carrying out this operation, small cuttings up to 15 centimeters long are cut from the central part of a young still soft shoot formed this year. It should be noted that on each of these cuttings should be located from two to three buds.
After dividing the shoot into parts, the lower leaves are removed on each of the selected segments, and half of the remaining leaf blades are cut off, which will contribute to further growth cutting. After that, the prepared material must be planted in a greenhouse or a room with high humidity, while the seedlings are buried in the soil by 3 centimeters. Land for cuttings should be well aerated, contain enough nutrients for development.
Seedling care should be moderate watering. warm water and periodic ventilation (over time, the intensity of ventilation is increased). In addition, the cuttings need additional nutrients, so three or four weeks after planting, top dressing is carried out using complex mineral fertilizers, they are applied to the soil in liquid form. After the appearance of the first shoots, it can be assumed that the cutting has taken root, such seedlings retain the main characteristics of the mother culture.
The process of obtaining seedlings can be carried out using semi-lignified cuttings. To do this, take browned shoots with durable wood, divide them into segments. All procedures from planting cuttings in a greenhouse to obtaining seedlings are similar, but such cuttings will take root for a very long time, about 1.5 months.
You can also propagate mulberry with the help of lignified shoots, they are cut out during the period of leaf fall from the side of the crown, which is well lit by the sun. AT further cuttings, whose length reaches 18 centimeters, is treated with growth stimulants and planted on a fertilized bed, deepening the cutting by about 5 centimeters. In the garden, the plants will develop until the age of two, after which they are transplanted to permanent place in the garden.
Is it possible to grow mulberries in middle lane our country? Despite the fact that the tree has southern roots, according to reviews, mulberry of certain varieties in the Moscow region grows and reproduces well. In the article you will find tips with photos on how to plant and care for mulberries.
Varieties and varieties
Mulberry is common in the subtropical zones of America, Africa and Asia, India, in the Middle Volga region and the Moscow region, Stavropol and Krasnodar Territory, Nizhny Novgorod region. This ancient culture It has great importance as fruitful and medicinal plant. Wood is a valuable material for the manufacture of handicrafts, cooperage and musical instruments. Juices, wine and vodka, vinegar, jelly are made from berries. Dried berries are added to the dough. Mulberry leaves are a valuable source of nutrition for the silkworm, whose chrysalis is used to produce silk. It was from the bast of the mulberry that the Chinese began to produce paper.
There are more than 17 types of mulberry. In our country, black and white mulberries are most often used. The difference between these species lies in the color of the bark, and not the color of the berries, as many used to think. Berries black mulberry have a more pronounced taste, so it is often planted for fruit. White is considered much more frost-resistant.
Given the unpretentiousness of mulberry to growing conditions, the ability to tolerate air pollution, ease of formation and decorativeness, it is widely used for landscaping: dense hedges, in groups and singly, creating alleys. The most impressive are decorative forms:
- golden;
- weeping;
- spherical;
- large-leaved;
- pyramidal;
- dissected.
Planting mulberries
A favorable time for planting mulberries is spring or early autumn. The place is chosen well-lit, ideally - the southern slopes. Mulberry is undemanding to the soil, it can also grow on saline soils, but prefers well-drained loams.
Landing pits are prepared in advance so that the soil can stand. Size 70 x 70 cm and a depth of up to half a meter. The excavated earth is mixed with a bucket of humus, half is placed in a hole, a seedling is placed on top, the roots are straightened and sprinkled with the remaining soil. Compact the soil around the stem and water. Depending on the future formation of the seedling, the distance between the trees is set differently. Between standard forms leave 5 m, and between the bush 3 m.
After planting, the soil must be mulched - the mulch will protect the roots of the plant from freezing in winter.
Advice. Mulberry is divided into male and female. It is better to purchase seedlings in the nursery that have already bear fruit once, so you will definitely get a fruit-bearing tree. Males do not bear fruit and are used only for landscaping or decoration.
Mulberry care, fertilizer and top dressing
Agrotechnics for growing mulberries include watering, fertilizing, shaping pruning, disease prevention and pest control.
Mulberry tolerates shearing and shaping very well. Withstands temperatures down to 30 degrees, annual shoots may suffer. In cold regions, where freezing occurs often, the growing growth forms a bush and a bush form of mulberry is obtained, only sanitary pruning is needed in winter. Therefore, in the Moscow region, mulberry is a bush, not a tree.
Free-growing mulberry reaches a height of 10 meters. It is better to create a tree on a one and a half meter trunk, straighten the branches in different sides and maintain pruning. At such a height, it is convenient to pick berries, and it is easy to take care of the crown.
The young seedling will have enough nutrients that were introduced when planting in the pit. When the mulberry begins to bear fruit, the need for nutrition increases, it is necessary to apply fertilizer. On sandy soils, this measure is especially necessary. After thawing the soil, nitrogen fertilizers are applied. It is possible for each sq. m add 50 g of nitroammophoska or apply an infusion of bird droppings, mullein. If necessary, such top dressing is repeated in early June. In autumn, potassium and phosphorus elements can be added.
Advice. With very strong pruning, the mulberry may stop fruiting, keep this in mind if you grow a tree for berries.
reproduction
Mulberry is reproduced by seeds, root shoots, layering, cuttings, cultivars by grafting.
Diseases and pests
Mulberry is a fairly resistant plant to pathogenic flora and pests; in the conditions of the middle zone, the culture suffers more from frost than from diseases. Diseases are divided into two etiologies: fungal and viral.
- powdery mildew;
- root rot;
- The tinder fungus is a fungus that feeds on living wood. A sign of defeat is gum disease, which appears when the vessels of the tree are blocked. Treatment is not subject. Infection occurs when wood is damaged;
- curly leaf spot is a virus that cannot be cured. The main source of infection is sucking insects;
- bacteriosis;
- brown spotting.
The development of the pathogen can be facilitated by the introduction of an excessive dose of nitrogen or a lack of nutrients, thickening of the crown.
Mulberry pests: May beetle larva, bear, wireworm, white American butterfly larva, comstock worms, spider mite.
Green semi-lignified cuttings are quite simple. Slightly less yield when propagated by lignified cuttings. It's also longer. If from semi-lignified cuttings planted in the middle of summer by autumn quite marketable seedlings are obtained (in the first photo) in just 3-4 months, then seedlings from lignified cuttings must be grown for another year. Further we are talking only about semi-lignified cuttings. By the way, honeysuckle, blackberries, actinidia, golden currants (it does not reproduce in other ways), viburnum, dogwood, roses, varietal rose hips and probably much more can be propagated by green cuttings.
Preparing a hole for planting cuttings.
I choose a place for a pit shaded all day. Allowed hit sun rays at sunrise and sunset. The pit is made from fertile soil. There are beautiful black soils in Mirgorod, so I just dig up the ground, level it and apply upper layer sand 5 cm. Sand should only be river. Quarry has to be pre-washed running water, in a barrel. The second photo roughly looks like a place for cuttings of honeysuckle with a fogging installation under a film tunnel. But for most amateur gardeners, with their small volumes, it is enough and easier to grow everything under simple plastic bottles.
Preparation of cuttings.
In the second decade of July, cuttings are cut from the basal and middle parts of semi-lignified shoots. A young shoot that has grown since spring should not break when bent. The upper cut is made directly above the upper kidney, and the lower one, under the lower one by 0.5-1 cm. Root germination will occur only from the region of the kidney node. The cuttings should have 2-4 buds, at the top sheet the leaf plate is shortened by 1/3, and the other leaves are removed, and if small, you can leave. I put the prepared cuttings in a plastic bag, moisten and incubate for 24 hours at a temperature of 5 ° C. If there are no such conditions, it is enough to immerse the lower ends of the cuttings in any root former for the night. It is very important that the leaf does not lose turgor. To do this, all operations are carried out in the shade and quickly. I cut a branch from a tree - cut it into cuttings with a leaf - immersed it in a jar with a root former - placed the jar in a new garbage bag, which I tied for sealing - put it in the basement for the night. Any root formers can be used, but according to the studies of Siberian nursery scientists, the most effective are root formers obtained in two ways. First: dilute 30 grams of aloe juice in 1 liter of water. Second: 30 gr. dissolve propolis in a minimum amount of alcohol and pour into 1 liter of water.
Planting cuttings.
After leveling the dry sand on the surface of the earth, gently moisten it (wet the entire layer). At two liter plastic bottle I cut off the bottom and make markings on the sand, in a row, circle to circle. The second row is close to the first, but in a checkerboard pattern. The cuttings must be immersed in the sand in such a way that the ends do not reach the ground 1-1.5 cm. In practice, this is done as follows. I press the stalk into the sand until it touches the ground (a denser layer), then I raise it by 1.5 cm and squeeze the sand tightly with my fingers around the shank. I carefully push the leaves into the bottle and press the edges of the bottle into the sand by 1-1.5 cm. In the future, I water the bottles 3-4 times a day. Water evenly spreads in the sand and evaporates under the bottle. Condensation is constantly present on the leaves and the inner surface of the bottle. After sprouting from the axillary bud of the shoot leaf, when the bottle starts to interfere, I remove it in the evening. As the shoots increase, watering is done less frequently. It is important not to overmoisten the soil and sand heavily during the entire period. At the first stage, the bottom of the cuttings may rot in the sand. When grown in natural soil, by mid-October, seedlings reach a height of up to a meter or more. When grown in pots, they will be significantly smaller and will often need to be grown.
In the third photo, a three-year-old seedling. There were those who wanted to get such a seedling, but it takes root much more difficult than from the first photo.
Or a mulberry tree, was known even under Tsar Ivan IV. Then, for the first time in Russia, the royal manufactory began to produce fine natural silk for the royal court. Mulberry leaves served as food for the silkworm, from whose cocoons silk was obtained. Mulberry was also very fond of Peter I, by a special decree he forbade the felling of mulberry trees. In many countries, to this day, mulberry trees are used to make real silk, but in Russia such production is practically not developed.
Mulberry belongs to the mulberry family, which is represented by a number of tall trees and shrubs. Its berries are actually mini-nutlets with fused pericarps. In our country, white and black mulberries have gained their fame, but in wild nature also grows fodder mulberry, she is satin, and in America grows inedible red mulberry with valuable timber. Breeders have bred about 400 varieties mulberry tree.
The one that silkworm caterpillars ate in China.
Her leaves are tender, silk turned out highest quality. The fruits are usually white, yellowish or pinkish, juicy, sugary-sweet, but (!) There are also dark ones. white mulberry quite frost-resistant, widespread everywhere. The tree has thick gray bark.
She came to us from the South, from Iran, and capricious silkworms are not suitable for food - her leaves are too rough. But for people, its purple-black fruits are of undoubted gastronomic interest. Sweet, sour, outwardly reminiscent of oblong-shaped berries. Taste nuances are richer than those of white mulberry.
The tree is thermophilic, although frost-resistant varieties also appear. The bark of black mulberry is red-brown.
Mulberry cultivation
A mulberry tree can reach 35 m in height, but in a garden it is necessary to form a crown so that the tree is no higher than 2-3 m. The mulberry lives extremely long, 200-300 years. For 5 years after planting, you can expect a harvest, and from grafted trees - even earlier. A 10-year-old tree produces up to 100 kg of fruit.
Mulberry plants can be self-pollinating (monoecious - when there are male and female flowers in one inflorescence) or have a female and male plant(double). Depending on this, one tree is planted or a pair is required (male and female).
Mulberry is often used due to its excellent fruiting and good vitality in the city. It looks great in group plantings and in the form. Now choosing more decorative forms of mulberry: for example, weeping, whose branches gently bend to the ground itself.
Low mulberry trees with a spherical crown have also gained popularity. In group plantings, a pyramidal or narrow pyramidal crown is most often used. The height of such trees can reach 6 m.
Mulberry reproduction
1. Seeds
The seed method is used by breeders to adapt mulberries to harsh conditions. northern regions or for growing rootstock for grafting. To do this, take the seeds and them for 2 months.
If you sow without stratification, then you should soak them before planting for 3 days. Sowing is done in early spring.
2. Vegetatively
Mulberry can be propagated undergrowth, layering(for weeping form), green cuttings, vaccination.

Mulberry Care
Watering
In order for the tree to withstand frost well, in the first half of summer (until July), the mulberry must be watered and nourished with mineral and organic. And starting in July, you need to stop fertilizing and watering the plant. This will help the mulberry, being in a dormant period, to tolerate temperature changes and frost well.pruning
The tree is formed with a trunk of 0.5-1.5 m, the height of the crown will be 2-4 m, and its shape will be broom-shaped or spherical.Young growths of last year often freeze over because they still have a weak bark and it loses moisture very quickly, unlike old shoots covered with cork bark. In this case, they need to be cut off, this operation will not affect the crop.
Harvesting and using mulberries
Mulberry berries, depending on the climate and variety, ripen from late May to August. Ripening is very uneven, on one branch there may already be fully ripe and berries that are just starting to grow.
Ripe berries crumble quite easily, so at the beginning of ripening lay a fabric or film under your mulberry in advance to make it easier to harvest.
Traditional medicine of many Asian countries since ancient times, mulberry has been used as a cure for many diseases:
- mulberry bark when brewed is the strongest anthelmintic;
- infusion of berries helps with coughing;
- berry juice helps to cope with stomatitis, tonsillitis and many inflammations of the mucosa;
- infusion of leaves - a godsend for hypertensive patients.
But eating berries raw or as part of desserts does not detract from the merits of this wonderful delicacy.

Do you grow mulberries in your garden?
Probably everyone knows what delicious fruits the mulberry gives, but many mistakenly believe that caring for it requires special skills. We will dispel this myth, because mulberry can be successfully grown in our country, and there is nothing exotic about it.
Necessary conditions for growing mulberry
Planting mulberry and further care behind it are so simple that the people call it "a tree for the lazy." Everyone can grow it on their site, and without making much effort for this. To environment it is very unpretentious. Even that mulberry, which is grown and cared for in the middle lane, will produce a small but stable harvest annually.
Did you know? The inhabitants of the East consider the mulberry a sacred tree. A table was placed under it, and the whole family spent time at it. Also, a bed was arranged under the mulberry. Amulets made of mulberry wood are traditional amulets for women of the East.
Lighting
Mulberries should be planted in places with good lighting where the north and east winds do not blow. If necessary, you can build an impromptu defense against them.
Temperature
The tree grows quickly, is resistant to drought and does not suffer even from severe frosts. It can withstand temperatures down to -30°C.
Important! During the growing season, frozen annual shoots are quickly restored.
The soil
Mulberry can be planted in 90% of soils. But, of course, it will bear fruit well only on fertile soils which are rich in nutrients and substances. It is strictly forbidden to plant these trees in wetlands and damp lowlands. Most suitable option soils with good drainage and high ability keep moisture. When planting mulberry trees, take into account that they grow over time, so the distance between seedlings should be left up to 6 m.
Did you know? The mulberry is called the "queen of berries", and the tree itself has been revered as the "tree of life" since ancient times. According to legend, the mulberry tree is endowed with powers that drive away evil spirits. Mulberry also symbolizes diligence and honor to parents.
How to plant mulberry?
Growing mulberries, like any other tree, begins with planting, which is best done in mid-spring, namely in April, until sap flow begins. The second option is mid-autumn before the start of the rainy season.
Important! Gardeners with extensive experience recommend planting mulberries in the fall. Because the plant that survived the winter in early age, will live long.
To choose the right place for planting a tree, it is necessary to take into account its preferences. Mulberry, as the mulberry is also called, does not like excess moisture, so planting and further care for it should begin with the definition suitable soil. deposits ground water should not exceed one and a half meters. The planting pit must be prepared two weeks before planting the tree. Its size directly depends on the root system of the seedling. The tree should be placed in the pit not back to back, freely. The average size of the pit is approximately 50cm³.
If the soil in which the tree is planted is poor in nutrients, the pit needs to be made wider and deeper so that up to 7 kg of compost mixed with 100 g of superphosphate can be placed at the bottom. Then the fertilizers are covered with a layer of soil. Its thickness should be such that the roots of the plant do not come into contact with fertilizers.
After two weeks, you can plant a mulberry tree. Its roots need to be straightened and dug in, shaking the trunk. This is necessary in order to remove excess voids from the soil. When the roots along with the pit are completely covered, the soil should be compacted, and the seedling should be watered with 20 liters of water. When the water is completely absorbed, you need to mulch trunk circle.
Important! If the planted tree is not yet strong enough, then before planting it, it is necessary to drive a support to the bottom of the pit. It will serve as a kind of holder for the seedling. The tree must be tied to it. If, for planting a mulberry tree, clay soil, then at the bottom of the pit you need to throw a broken brick for drainage.
As mentioned above, mulberry is planted twice a year: in spring and autumn. Landing during these periods is almost identical. But usually in the fall they dig a pit for planting, lay nutrients in it and leave it until spring. But already in April they complete the landing.
Features of tree care
Once the tree is planted, you need to know how to take care of the mulberry tree. The main thing is to carry out abundant watering of the tree during the period of active development, especially when the buds are blooming. It is also important to feed the plant.
Trimming Rules
Like any other tree, the mulberry tree needs pruning. It is best to do this during periods of rest. The most painless pruning of mulberries occurs in the spring. From the end of April to the beginning of May, when the buds have not yet blossomed, two types of pruning are carried out: shaping and rejuvenating. The third - sanitary - pruning is carried out in the fall, when all the leaves have already fallen. But the air temperature should not be lower than -10°C. Different types mulberries need to be trimmed in different ways. Weeping mulberries, as a rule, thin out the crown and shorten the shoots and branches.
Important! Don't worry if the trim is too strong. This type of mulberry returns to normal very quickly.
A stamped mulberry forms a crown. They leave a long bare trunk, and at the top - a thick spherical cap or a cascade of branches. The decorative mulberry tree is most difficult to form. Trunk young tree cleared of branches to a level of up to 1.5 m from the ground. You can let the crown grow naturally. If you want to grow a dwarf tree, then cut off the apical shoot at a height of about 1.5 m and form a skeleton of ten branches. Then it will only be necessary to maintain the shape of the crown, cutting out unnecessary shoots. Penetrating branches do not need to be touched, they can simply be supported.
When the time comes to prepare the mulberry tree for wintering, sanitary pruning is carried out. During this procedure, all diseased, dead and too weak branches and shoots are cut off. Sanitary pruning is not usually needed every year.
soil care
In order for the mulberry to hurt less and not be overcome by pests, the near-stem circle of the tree is treated with fungicides and insecticides for preventive purposes. It is better to do this in early April, while the kidneys have not yet woken up, and in October at the end of the vegetative period. good remedy from diseases and pests - this is Nitrafen.
In the spring, it is better to process the tree and add seven percent urea to the soil. It will destroy all pathogenic elements and insect larvae that have lain in the ground and in the bark of the mulberry tree. Also, the plant will be fed nitrogen fertilizer, which is so necessary for mulberry this season.
In order for the mulberry to adapt to severe frosts, it should be watered from spring to mid-summer, only when the weather is dry. After watering should be stopped. If the spring is rich in rains, then it is not needed. At the same time, the mulberry tree needs to be fed. In early spring fertilizers with a nitrogen component must be added to the soil, and in summer - with potash and phosphate.
How to prepare mulberries for winter?
The mulberry tree is prepared for wintering already in the middle of autumn, bending the branches to the ground. This procedure will not cause difficulty, since the young mulberry tree is quite flexible. But since the mulberry grows quite large, then in the future it is better to place the skeletal branches horizontally, and only bend down the young branches.
For the first three years, it is desirable to wrap the trunk and main branches with covering material in several layers. It depends on the severity winter frosts. Then you need to throw it on the stlanets, spreading poison under it for winter rodents, which can really harm the tree. To prevent the wind from blowing away the protective coating, it must be pressed down with something heavy, such as pipes, boards or bricks. You need to remove the shelter from the mulberry in May, when the spring night frosts end.
If you do not take into account the bending of young branches and manipulations with protective coating, then caring for the mulberry tree and preparing it for wintering is no different from the usual agricultural technology of apple trees.
Did you know? There is one beautiful legend about the beginning of the manufacture of silk, associated with the mulberry tree. Princess Xi Ling Shi was resting under a large mulberry tree when a cocoon fell into her cup of tea. In a hot drink, he untwisted with shiny threads with overflows. So China found one of the main secrets: a small, inconspicuous silkworm caterpillar that lives on mulberry is a source of valuable material from which almost priceless fabrics can be made.
When and how to harvest?
Mulberry gives its first fruits already in the third year. Only the berries are still small. They become larger after another five or six years. But there is a way to speed up this process. In the spring, a seedling of the mother tree should be grafted to the seedling. Harvesting mulberries is the greatest pleasure, because you don’t have to climb a tree. When the berries ripen, they fall off on their own. On the ground under a tree, you only need to spread dense fabric e.g. spunbond. Mulberry berries are very juicy and sweet, they can reach 5 cm in length. It all depends on the variety.
Mulberry reproduction
The mulberry reproduces both by seeds and vegetatively.
seeds
Propagation of mulberry seeds is the easiest way for all types of this tree. You just need to take a handful of berries of the selected variety, put in a container and put in the sun to roam. Then in the water you need to knead the seeds well and drain the water with empty shells. Then fill with water again and pass through a strainer with a fine mesh. Then wipe and rinse again. Repeat until only clean, pulp-free seeds remain.
After they should be well dried and transferred to a paper bag and stored in a dry place until the beginning of spring. 45 days before sowing, moistened seeds should be placed on a shelf under the freezer for stratification or kept in water for three days. It is necessary to sow mulberry seeds to a depth of 1 cm in the brightest place. You need to water the future mulberry often, but do not fill it.
It is also worth keeping an eye on young plant didn't ruin spring frosts. The first shoots should be protected from direct exposure to UV rays. Dense plantings must be thinned out in the fifth leaf phase. Sparse ones are left on the ground for growing up to the age of two years. Signs of the mother plant are not transmitted when propagated by seeds. Such seedlings are used for grafting varietal mulberries.
Did you know? The appearance of paper in China was also facilitated by the mulberry tree. It was his bast, which is located under the tree bark, was used to create paper.
cuttings
How else does mulberry reproduce? The best way reproduction in the summer is cuttings. At the beginning of summer, cuttings with two or three buds are cut from a healthy shoot of this year. lower leaves you need to remove, and leave half of the plates on the rest, so that the stalk grows and develops in the future.
It is necessary to plant cuttings in a greenhouse, even improvised, under a translucent film to a depth of 3 cm. Conditions are created there in which the cuttings take root qualitatively. They will need moderate watering, frequent airing of the room and top dressing mineral fertilizers. The fact that the cutting has taken root can be understood in a month, when new shoots appear. These seedlings are exactly the mother tree.
Inoculation
Mulberry is grafted by almost everyone known ways. The easiest and, most importantly, successful is copulation. You can graft mulberry indoors in winter or with the onset of early spring. Those cuttings that were grafted before sap flow take root faster.
Simple copulation is the same oblique cuts on the scion and rootstock, so that the cambial layers join more clearly. Sections are made between the kidneys. When the sections are aligned, the junction should be tightly covered with a soft polyethylene bandage.
Important! Don't move. In this case, the likelihood of fusion will be significantly reduced.
Improved copulation with a tongue differs from a simple one by additional application of parallel serifs, which, when joined, overlap each other. This provides a strong mechanical fastening of the tissues between the cuttings. It is necessary to step back a third of the length of the cutting from the end of the cut of the stock down. On the scion, a cut is made upwards and up to half of the oblique cut is carried out. As a result, peculiar “tongues” are formed on both cuttings, with the help of which they are more closely combined with each other.
layering
The lower branch is used as a layer. It bends down and is fixed on the surface of the soil, then sprinkled with earth. For better rooting, the branch must be broken at the bend or the bark ring removed. With the help of this technique, the formation of roots is stimulated. The procedure should be carried out in the spring, and by the fall, roots will already appear on the layering.
Did you know? The oldest mulberry in Ukraine is considered to be the one that grows on the territory of the Grishko National Botanical Garden. Its age is about 500 years. As the legend says, it was planted by pilgrim monks from seeds that were brought from Central Asia. They also think that it is this tree that is considered the mother of all Ukrainian mulberry trees. Kobzar himself made several sketches of this tree.
Remember that by planting a few mulberry trees, you will provide a whole generation with berries. After all, mulberry, depending on the variety, can live hundreds of years.
