I've used whip and tongue and cleft graft putting Ill. Evergearing on white mulberry stock.
Both successful just when the buds begin to swell. I used scionwood that was gathered when the tree was dormant kept that in the frig and grafted outside in the field in April here in middle TN Hector Black
One caution on Ill. Everbearing - It's a wonderful fruit but the branches tend to be brittle and when long, they tend to crack in strong winds or when being climbed too far out on a limb. The branches sweep down to the ground so little kids love them, come in with purple juice streaming down their chins.

I worked for a nursery for a while about 25 years ago and I noticed that
when they grafted ornamental weeping muberries they grafted plants in
pots in a greenhouse and kept the temperature very hot for some time.
Could any knowledgeable members advise whether this is required when
grafting mulberries?

Our chicken-wire fences work fine, once we put them up, and they worked on our other trees. But these deer literally will eat a newly-planted tree if you turn your back for the time it takes to go get a piece of fencing.

The only question is, should we buy a whole new grafted tree, or try to graft something on to the rootstock we have?
