Do mulberries root?

Update on 2/17/2024

Himalayan Naples can be rooted at least in the cloner. I see a well-developed root on one of two cuttings placed in the cloner about a month ago.

Himalayan Skinner Mulberry can root pretty efficiently in a cloner, at least from the thin green cuttings taken in December. Here I have a picture and the video link of my results after 2.5 week in a cloner. Eight out of 11 cuttings formed the roots.

1. All accessions with the “?” in the below table will root.

2. At least two people rooted Skinner using summer wood. I will stick the thin green cutting into the cloner today and will report back the results.

Update on 12/9/21 with more data I have by now:

The info below was originally published on 1/1/21.

This is a summary of my personal experience with rooting different mulberry cultivars.

Cuttings from these cultivars are occasionally available at reallygoodplants.com

Long White Mulberries. Saharanpur Local, Australian Green, and Pakistan White.

 These three mulberries are probably the same accession propagated under 3 different names. Saharanpur Local mulberry came to my garden directly from USDA. Australian Green was donated by a friend, and Pakistan White came from a CRFG exchange.  I do not see any differences in the fruit flavor, shape, or the tree size.  The leaf shapes are identical too.

These are very fast-growing large trees that will require pruning. The fruits are long, very sweet, with no acidity. Occasionally, we have the plant material available at reallygoodplants.com
