I noticed that Suzanne Joyce said she was in SC. Could she email me as to her location I am in SC also.

No I haven’t, but have you grown any? And are they sweet? We had wild blackberries growing in our field. The thorns could ripe through your skin faster than you could blink.

Mat, how can I get my mulberry bush to grow stronger and taller? It is taking it’s time (2 years) to get to three feet.

I planted my Mulberry bush three feet from my fence. But it seems to be slow in growth. It is in the sun with partial shade. Should I water it more often, because the heat here in SC has been extremely hot (90-114′)? Could the unusual temperatures be the problem?

Has anyone tried Doyle’s Thornless Blackberry?

Eston3, if you’re local to northern Palm Beach county, you’re welcome to take some clippings from my trees. If you have a green thumb, they’ll probably do just fine. My trees were grown from clippings.

Cheers,
Farmer Matt

Neely, my trees were grown from clippings so I know it is possible. I actually gave some clippings from my tree to Mindy (above). I haven’t heard how they are doing lately. She was trying to root some in water and some in soil. The ones in soil died. The last I heard, the ones she was rooting in water looked fine but that was several months ago.

If you’re local to northern Palm Beach county, you’re welcome to clippings off my tree. Send me email.

Cheers,
Matt

Can you root pieces of the mulberry tree? If so I would love to know how so I can get some going.

I tried to contact Springhill Nursery. So far, no response. Is there a local source in South Florida that might have them? Or even a internet store?
