How to propagate mulberry trees and what to pay attention to

Mulberry tree reproduction method

There are only two ways to propagate mulberry trees, namely, seed propagation and cutting propagation. Among the two propagation methods, seed propagation has a higher survival rate and is easier to root. Relatively speaking, the growth rate of seed propagation is faster.

Can mulberry seeds be propagated?

The seeds of mulberry trees can be propagated, and the survival rate is relatively high, so they can be used at ordinary times. The natural reproduction method of mulberry trees is sowing and propagation. This method of reproduction will grow faster and can generally be used.

Mulberry tree breeding time

The survival rate of mulberry tree cuttings is high in early summer, which is around June and July each year. This time period is in a period of vigorous growth, the germination is very strong, and the temperature is also suitable, so the survival rate of cuttings is higher.

Mulberry cutting propagation

Mulberry trees can also be propagated by cuttings, but because of their weak rooting ability, special care must be taken. It is said that the failure rate of this method is very high. Cutting propagation time is mostly in summer. Choose semi-lignified branches of mulberry trees and cut them into 15 cm lengths. Remember to leave two leaves at the top to ensure that nutrients are not lost from the branches.

Mulberry tree seed propagation

The most commonly used method of propagation for mulberry trees is by seeding, which is usually carried out in spring and summer every year. Mulberries with high maturity need to be used, and attention should be paid to maintenance at ordinary times.

Precautions for mulberry tree breeding

When propagating mulberry trees, you need to pay attention to the fact that the soil temperature generally needs to be kept at around 10 degrees during planting, and relatively healthy seedlings should be used for planting. The containers used should also be of appropriate size, and the soil should be loose and breathable.
