I've had about 50% success rooting dormant mulberry cuttings. I used rooting hormone, and burried at least 2 buds in the soil. I've placed the pots on heating mat in a cool greenhouse and they took. I've had more success rooting M. alba Pakistan.

Rooting green wood cuttings of mulberry is easier, but you'll need to keep misting it and usually you'll have near 100% take.

If you have any wild mulberries growing you can easily graft them.

I can get cuttings from 2 trees from an old farmstead down the road and
I'd like any suggestions on how to propagate mulberries from cuttings.
Would they benefit from rooting hormone? How long should the cuttings
be? How many buds under the ground? Should they be in a cold frame or
not?

Thank you,

Rondi
