Mulberry trees are some of the most resilient, productive, and fun fruit trees to grow; and Larry Stephenson of Southern Cultured Orchards and Nursery in Mississippi agrees! Propagating mulberry has been a bit of a mystery to me with lots of conflicting information. My goal was to set the record straight. In this conversation we talk all about how Larry approaches mulberry propagation for his small (and growing) retail nursery. As with every episode of The Permaculture Nursery Podcast we bob and weave through many different topics as I learned more about Larry's nursery and the work he does.
