Blackberries tend to overcrowd themselves whereupon they stop producing
fruit. You need to do some thinning to get them to bear.

Has anyone tried grafting fig onto mulberry?
Perhaps they are graft compatible?

Yep. Saw one just like it recently, growing in a backyard fence that
borders the parking lot at the high school my daughter attends. I didn't
look at leaf/bud morphology, but figured it was M. alba.
Considered marking it an collecting a scion to graft next spring, just
because of the leaf morphology-looks amazingly like the Magnolia/Brunswick
group of figs.

Subject: [NAFEX] strange mulberry leaf.
I was wondering if any of you crazy fruit explorers have seen a mulberry
with a leaf like this. It looked like a Morus alba, but the sinus lobing is
way deeper than any I've seen, the lobes are very straight, and there's no
small teeth at all. I've seen 2 trees in the Ann Arbor area that looked like
this, both obviously self-seeded, one in a fencerow by a cemetary and one
behind a dumpster. Both were young and vigorous. I know mulberry leaves
change significantly with vigor/age, but I've never seen anything like this
on any of the mulberries I've seen.
Is it another variety or species?
