Hello,
Never fear, mulberries are weeds - it will recover well after frost. To minimise impact water with some sea-sol, encourage good fungi in your soil (add home-made compost a few times per year), and if you're really worried give it a little shelter and water the night before a big frost is due.
Mulberries come from regions that get colder than anywhere in Oz. They are tough and recover if they are singed!

BJ11, I knew blackberries were weeds (and bad) but to hear mulberry trees are too,I would not have guessed. So how long does the mulberry tree take to send out new buds. Thank you.
