Lucky,
I didn't know mulberries were difficult to root. I pruned my Morus alba
tree in March. I cut ten dormant sticks of last years growth for an
experiment. I purchased a cloning machine - a water pump circulates water
in a basin while cutting are held vertically as if planted in the water. 8
out of ten cuttings turned black and died. Two out of ten sprouted roots. I
considered this a failure and was doubting whether the cloning machine was
effective. Now hearing your lack of success, and my 20% success, maybe
there is something to this cloning machine. I also rooted an asian pear
cutting in the cloning machine with about 20% success.
