Question about my Mulberry Tree

11 years ago

Hello!!

I bought this Mulberry tree from a nursery about two weeks ago and planted it into the ground. I used some root stimulator, fertilizer, and mulched it.

My questions about this are:

1) The guy at the nursery did not know what species this mulberry is. Anyone know, and if it's a species that fruits?

2) When are they supposed to start turning green in the year? I live in Houston TX the temperature today is 82.

3) I have been watering it about every other to two days, I don't know how much to water new plants, not wanting to drown them, not wanting to starve them.

Also, Here is a picture of the bottom of the tree. When we bought the plant, that small part on the left was already growing.

I noticed that green started to grow on the very bottom of the tree. Is this Normal?? Would it be something I've heard of called "rootstock" and never let the tree produce fruit?

Thank you all for all your help, I am a beginner gardener and could use all the help I can get.

Post this on the fruit and orchard forum, or the trees forum; and you will likely find peope there to help you. Most of us here on the citrus forum only know or care about citrus.

BTW, ask the nursery what variety it is; if it happens to be Pakistani mulberry, you have a rare treasure.
