Mulberry is one of the easiest cuttings to root. You may remove a few
shoots when these are leafless. Prepare 8-10" cuttings and just plant them
in a bed. They will form roots.

Hello,
I am wondering what types of success you have had with rooting cuttings of
mulberry. There is a large old mulberry tree (not sure what species, but
the fruit is delicious) from which I could collect propagation materials,
but I am unsure about when to take cuttings, what size/type of wood to
take, and how to treat the cuttings. I'm in zone 8, so we have a short,
mild winter. Does anyone have any input on this topic?
