nigel starts with ... any thoughts on the perferred options for dwarf mulbeeries. does the fruit of the dwarf red taste as good as the fruit of the dwarf Black. I am thinking of getting a dwarf tree. I can prune the dwarf black down to the size of the dwarf red. However if the dwarf red tastes just as good I need not have the extra pruning work. Are dwarf red trees available currently?

Nick T says... The fruit of the dwarf red shahtoot is incredibly tasty- juicy and very sweet even when still quite green (and also much longer than your usual mulberry!). Shame I only had two fruit off it last summer but it was only its first year (one of my many Daleys trees to flower in their first year) :) | About the Author Nick T Altona, VIC 20th June 2012 6:58pm #UserID: 2663 Posts: 727 View All Nick T's Edible Fruit Trees |

M says... Hi Nick, I'm Michael from Altona Meadows. I just chanced across this webpage again and realised you had replied to me. I was checking my mail but heard nothing from you so I forgot about the whole thing. It's been like over a year. Are you still interested in a swap between that white and red shahtoot mulberry? I think this time I'll leave down my mob so you can txt me if you like. 0421 900 669. Cheers and happy New Year. | About the Author M Altona Meadows, Vic 4th January 2014 9:49pm #UserID: 7210 Posts: 4 View All M's Edible Fruit Trees |

M says... Hi Nick, No worries. :) I remember to check here today. Last week's 40 degs days were terrible. Lots of my plants were damaged and a few killed. I'm really annoyed. Spent months growing a plant only to see it die in a few day's heat. My mulberry was unharmed. I'm gonna cut back my mulberry by two third. So I have HEAPS of cuttings. I read that they are difficult to strike from cutting. But no harm trying. You can have one if they strike. Otherwise, I can come and graft one onto your tree. Have you tasted the fruit from your red dwarf shahtoot yet? Cheers, Michael | About the Author M Altona Meadows, Vic 21st January 2014 2:43am #UserID: 7210 Posts: 4 View All M's Edible Fruit Trees |
Linton says... Looking for some Shahtoot cuttings! I found that the Shahtoot Mulberry was very easy to grow from a cutting previously and would like to grow some more. If anyone has some pieces from a small branch they can spare please let me know. Also Ice Cream Bean is just as easy from cuttings. Please email me at lintonius at Hotmail dot com. I may have some things to swap also. Thanks. | About the Author Linton Springvale, Vic 22nd January 2014 11:25am #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |
