Cuttings recieved will be wrapped in Buddy Tape (parafilm) it is not necessary to remove the wrapping, it helps keep moisture and humidity high in the scion and the leaves will grow right through the tape, make a 45 degree cut at the base of the cutting and dip in rooting hormone, place in moist well draining soil for the best results. Keep out of direct sunlight and place them in a spot with filtered sunlight.
Propagating mulberry trees from cuttings is a relatively easy and inexpensive way to produce new trees. The best time to take cuttings is during the dormant season, in late fall or early winter, when the tree is not actively growing. Choose a healthy, straight branch and cut a section that is around 30 cm long, making sure to use a sharp, sterile tool. Remove the lower leaves and dip the cut end in rooting hormone powder. Plant the cutting in a pot filled with well-draining soil and cover it with a clear plastic bag to create a humid environment. Place the pot in a warm, bright spot, but out of direct sunlight, and keep the soil moist. Once roots have developed, which can take several weeks, the new plant can be transplanted to a larger pot or outdoors.
