 I have been doing it for years, I even cut off a 3 1/2 inch dia. Mulberry 
and grafted 4 bark grafts Ill Ever bearer, Wellington, White and a weeping 
to it. It has been doing great for 5 years now. I have grafted well over a 
100 wild to weeping for friends over 12 to 15 years. I get them at nice 
height along the fence. I have even grafted one at weeping at 10 or 12 feet 
for the heck of it. I also have a weeping graft that I grafted an ever 
bearer on to grow straight up.
 Any questions:  gc_nofs@hotmail.com

Subject: [NAFEX] grafting named mulberry onto wild tree
Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2002 13:36:27 -0400

Hi all - A wild mulberry grows next to the house and I'd like to switch to a 
larger-fruiting variety.  It's about 6" diameter (the tree, not the house) 
and I prune it hard to 10 ft for easy harvesting and to keep it off the 
house.  I'd like to graft a named variety or two on it at 4 ft., but can't 
find anything about mulberries in the books I've looked at.  My internet 
searches lead me to interesting silk industry stuff, but not what I need.  
Basically, will mulberries graft well at that height and what works well for 
them?  Thanks.
