Hi Anthony,
If you can find Mulberry seedlings the best way to propagate the desired variety is to graft it using “Whip and tongue graft” on the found seedling.
How it should be made can you see for example in the following link: http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/hil/grafting.html).
I do it in the early spring, when the buds of the desired variety are still sleeping. I have nearly 100 percent success using this way.
If you don’t find seedlings, you can make them using the seed from the mulberry fruits.
Good luck!
Alex

Airlayering Question.
We have found a great native Mulberry tree that my son and
I use to make jelly. We are concerned that something may
happen to this tree and we would like to preserve this line.
I thought Airlayering may be a good way to start new shoots.
Any input as to best method and time ?
We are in Nth. W. IL. Z4
Thank you, Anthony
