The Pakistan Mulberry tree grows large and vigorously. However, prune to the desired height. Due to their strong root system, mulberry trees should be planted away from buildings or pipes as they can create structural damage. These resilient trees do very well in the Arizona climate and produce an abundance of delicious fruit during the early Summer months.
Tips when Pruning Mulberry Trees
Trim in the Winter while dormant. Top the tips to reduce the height and encourage lower branches to grow. Remove any growth below the lowest main branches and the graft. Cut off dry twigs and growth going crossing towards the center. Do some thinning in the Summertime to direct the plant’s energy. Remove excess fruits to help remaining fruit to develop larger.
