RE: Mulberry Leaves

Where do you live? Lowes in my area has concord grapes. The mulberrie may be more difficult as they are not popular. I think Stark Bros. nursery in Missouri may have them, this is a mail order nursery.

RE: Mulberry Leaves

I just looked at the Gurney site and they have both mulberries and concord grapes.

RE: Mulberry Leaves

Jen right now in CA Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot and Lowes are all carrying different varieties of Grapes, succulents, geraniums, hybiscus and other tort friendly food plants (after it has been de-cemicalized (is that even a word?). You may be able to order them on line it may be less expensive than a nursery.
I know what your Hubby means about the leaves. My land lord cut down a very, very large, old fruitless mulberry that covered my house all summer. I hated cleaning up the tons of leaves. Much more than my torts could eat. But a couple of my friends have trees and said I can pic all I want & they do not use chemicals or pesticides, so now I have an endless supply and no clean-up the best of both worlds. They are just starting to bud out here. If you need more let me know.

RE: Mulberry Leaves

I will check out lowes and home depot, I have plants in there already, but I always love to add more for variety.

RE: Mulberry Leaves

Mullberry's actually will root quite well off of branch stalks if cut at the neck of a split on an angle, then wrap the cut end in a cheesecloth type cloth soaked with rooting hormone/enhancer stuff.. within a few days it'll show signs of rooting, stick it in some compost and peat moss till it gets a better hold then move it where you like Wink
