#1: Mulberry Tree
Posted on 2006-06-20 15:49:52 by warrenmarine
Daughter-in-law bought one with a 3' ball + or -. Son has to dig the
hole, how much bigger than the root ball should it be? Is there any
particular fertilizer that should be used at that time?

Twice the size. In many parts of the US this is a bad time to plant a
tree. Wait until winter and wet ground to use any fertilizer. There
is a product called "Upstart" that can be used at transplant time to
reduce shock (it smells like liquid vitamins).

Hope no one nearby has a white car or cement sidewalks. My Mother has a
mulberry and the birds love it but purple poop gets everywhere.

More specifically, twice (or three times) as wide, but no deeper. The
trunk flares at the base of the tree should be exposed to open air.
Planting a little shallow is better than a little deep.

Only a problem if the tree is female. Male mulberry trees don't get
fruit.
I have about 300 of them on my property.
