looking for a fruitless mulberry tree

[samsmom]

looking for a fruitless mulberry tree to plant in sulcata enclosure. i cannot find one anywhere! does anyone know where i can purchase one?

Coastal sells them but usually only in the spring. You can see if they have any left. I just got three of them this spring and one last spring. Here is their site and they are also members http://www.coastalsilkworms.com

I bought one from a website that was on here at one time, silkworms.com or something like that. Sorry I cannot remember the exact name. It is a small fruitless tree.

This is only a gess but lookup Bud grafting on the internet . You may be able to do a Bud graft to a nother tree like a peacon tree and it will not fruit just grow .

these are the dwarf variety, how big do they get and will it produce enough leaves for my sulcata?

They come pretty small, mine was about 2 feet tall when I got it. I think you need a big one for a Sakata I have seen them online in other places but I haven't tried local nurseries.

See that's what I'm talking about seeds fall from your oak tree and sprout in to a small oak tree let it get to about 1 foot tall then see if some one on the TFO will send a small bud cutting . If all else is out of season you might get surprised . But good luck with you mulberry tree .

I've purchased a few from Coastal. You can sometimes find them on eBay if he's out of them.
