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.

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.
