Aaaahhhh! First day of school for my youngsters, it's calm, quiet, and i can enjoy coffee and entire lesson from master Chan all at once!!! Blissful!
You mentioned about white mulberries
I live in Toronto Canada and we have both black and white mulberry trees
The white ones are sweeter
I have a black mulberry tree in my yard and now that I have watched your video I will make an attempt to make a bonsai out of the smaller one
Thank you for posting all these amazing videos
Yes! There is the "Morus Alba" variation, but in the early stages of the black fruit (Morus Nigra), they are also white for a few weeks...
Greetings from Ohio, USA. Thank you for your dedication to making videos. One part of bonsai, I have learned, is a hope for the future. Faith and hope go hand in hand with patience. My little thirty or so trees help carry me through these disturbing times, and your videos help with both the trees and stilling of the heart.
They're invasive here in Wisconsin! Have one growing out of an old stump that I did my first air layer on, hoping it takes!
I collect smaller ones whenever I find them, I like removing invasives and doing bonsai at the same time!
I just removed it as an air layer. Insanely prolific rooting. I started to see roots and inside of 2 weeks it was blowing out the bag!!! If you did it right that thing will take like crazy!
You heard the term "white mulberry" because there's a variety that makes white fruit.
I grew up in Eastern Europe and we had mulberry trees growing around us and I fondly remember eating their fruit.
There were black, reddish-pink and white fruit
I have a white mulberry here in India it's very common
The mulberry trees in my yard here in southern Michigan do very well thru the winter. I just had one pop up in my flower garden next to the raspberry bush the birds planted a few years ago. There is an old very short mulberry next to my cistern that would make a beautiful bonsai. I'm going to make it my first bonsai.
Thank you so much for this video. I helped me very much from South Africa đżđŠ
Hey Peter, I very much adore and love your channel. In this all digital world where everything is rushed and stressful and attention spans are so short this channel and your projects help me relax and calm down and forget all the stress for a moment.
Have you thought about doing an FAQ video maybe once or twice a year? You would mention on one video for people to post their questions and then the next video you answer fans and viewer questions.
Also, could you do a video showing your oldest trees, your emotional most attached trees and maybe also your most worth trees?
Greetings from Ireland. :)
Thank you for your excellent suggestion - I will post a short video asking people to send in the questions by video and I will answer them in a special session
@@peterchan3100 amazing! Looking forward to it!
Its 12 am & Iâm watching this awesome video đ
Yay! I have lots of mulberry around our farm, and Iâve never tried to use them before. I know my spring projects. đȘđ»
They root big cuttings, I rooted a 2" one last year...
Hi, dear Peter. My name is Panagiota Ntaka and I live in Greece. Here we use mulberry trees for shadow, because the sun here in Greece is too hot in the summer. This tree lost it's leaves in the winter and in February we prune it hard to main branches, leaving two or three eyes in only one last year branch, on every main branch. So, on early spring it flows new leaves. I love this tree very match and this year try to grow one for bonsai.
*I love Mulberry Bonsai* producing little fruit and quite nice trees to be honest đđ
There's an old mulberry tree I've enjoyed looking at for the 20 years I've lived here in the front yard across the road. It's about 15 foot tall and is a weeping tree. It's friggen gorgeous year round. I always thought it was a grafted tree but maybe someone grew a long whip and wired it over many years ago? So is the thought of it's current owner that has identified the weed that I've been chopping for a few years decided to finally dig it this year and pot it up it's a mulberry yahoo! Time for some cuttings!
i was given a 1 and a half foot long cutting of a mulberry tree. Diameter of the cutting was just more than an inch. I sawed into 3 parts, shaved some bark off and applied rooting hormone powder. Planted them into pots of potting soil and perlite. Getting green shoots now
i've been waiting for this video from a long time , thanks Mr Chan
I grew up eating mulberries. I currently propagate 3 varieties including a Pakistani White. I may try doing an air layer for a bonsai! Thanks for the video.
Morning Peter love love your videos,an seeing you of course much lv Ann
Thank you for not putting loud music and over produced slick video tricks in your videos like some other bonsai channels where I can't even hear myself think. I appreciate the calm, cerebral and humorous nature of your tutorials and lack of pretension. Very inspiring and entertaining. Best wishes from Chicago, USA.
I have a huge white mulberry tree growing next to the well. And it has a whiter color berry and they are delicious!
Lovely peaceful and educational. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!
Mulberry trees were once very common in country Australia, (I was an early fifties child). These days, not so much, but I have a black one out the front, and a dwarf black in a large tub out the back. Many farms would have a big, low spreading Mulberry tree in the chook yard, (chickens/hens are usually called chooks in Australia - rhymes with "books"), for the chooks to shelter under on hot summer days. I encourage as many people as I can to plant them: the Mulberry revival!
PS: Peter, you've done Canada, how about an Australian trip...?
My biggest tree is a mulberrytree (2003) but i have it in a 120liter pot growing it as a normal tree at 4meters high cus the berrys taste so good
so many mulberry trees in Canada Toronto this plant very good for cold weather
Thanks Peter! Always wanted to add a mulberry I didnât realize cuttings rooted so easilyâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Yes! you can do a 2" cutting on the sand, it will probably root... Got one from last year.
I just took 5. This years growth from a big tree. All heel cuttings I used potting soil with sphagnum moss. Fingers crossed
@@boscobear123 Well, if you are in the northern hemisphere it could be a bit late as it's almost autumn there... made two stomp cutting last season (middle summer), both rooted without worries, I'll make some this season again, as mine are males...
Nice. I considered how late it was I figured Iâll keep it in my grow tent where I keep my tropical trees through winter. My olive cuttings survived the same treatment last year. Only one of 5 stayed alive after potting thoughđ
Sir gud evening. Im here Philippines I love watching your videos. I love planting mulberries and Im doing bonsai to. Goodluck too Sir.
I learn something every time
An animal dropped what I think is a mulberry in my yard the other day (I thought it was a blackberry but after some walking in the neighborhood today I found a tree it could have come from). I am currently cold stratifying the seeds I got from the berry to see if they will grow and turn into bonsai I can experiment with! I think it would be a nice surprise if at least one grew from a random present from a passing bird :)
That's one species that you definitely can grow from seed and turn into bonsai in a relatively short amount of time because they grow fast. I have several saplings I pulled out of a fence line that will be trained as bonsai.
Are you able to get some cuttings from that tree in the neighborhood to try and root them? If so, I personally have had rapid success with pencil size thickness or just under of semi-hardwood cuttings.
Regardless, good luck with those mulberry seeds. đ
@@DeciduousSnurb I have not tried cuttings yet, but I got some healthy looking young saplings from the seeds! I also got some extra berries from the tree just in case and planted those seeds too but I probably didn't need to because SO MANY sprouted! Still fun to watch the growing process even though I couldn't keep all of them due to overcrowding đ They're about 6 inches high now so I get what you mean by fast growing!
The one time I tried growing a tree from a cutting I think I did everything wrong and I haven't been brave enough to try again đ€Ł Although I really like the idea of taking some different color Azalea cuttings because of another Herons Bonsai video!
@@sporilight Love Azaleas, I've tried cuttings from my hot pink and purple types, not sure the species, but not much luck. I did manage to get a few cuttings to root from a Satsuki Azalea 'Wakaebisu' thanks to Peter's advice.
Great lesson .We have a Mulberry tree behind my house and will try to do some cutting
the white mulberry (morus alba) is actually the tree that the silk worms eat. but the black mulberry has black berries. i have both growing in my yard. you have inspired me to dig up a large mulberry i've been cutting to the ground and make it into a bonsai. good use for it.
Silk worm farming was a cottage industry in Italy at the beginning of the last century. My grandmother grew up in a farm and she told me how they had rows of mulberry trees to harvest leaves for the worms.
Mulberry is very common in Eastern Europe. Here in Romania we have very harsh winters -20 degrese celsius, the trees have no problem surviving
Thanks Peter.
I ate so many muberries growing up in South Africa. Never seen one here in the UK, glad to hear they can actually grow!
I have two white mulberry bonsai and I've always loved the tree growing up collecting berries for my mother along with pears apple's and rhubarb
how did i miss this upload, i just bought a tiny mulberry tree
As always, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
En España decimos: "mulberry stain with another mulberry is removed"
3:36 very cool blue spruce Peter
I'm loving to work with Mulberry! They really resistant and fast growers, I love the fact that it is a deciduous that thrive almost like a tropical here where I live in the spring/summer, and our winter is just right for it to get a nice, full dormancy (min. of 0ÂșC eventually)... AND, they root stomp cuttings, I made a cutting of almost 2" last year, and it rooted really easy on the sand.
hmmm...you may have saved my mulberry. They DO resprout prolifically from stumps. I never knew air layering was possible! I will try this in the spring, definitely.
I.want.that.tree!!! â€â€â€â€
can you do a video on how you fertilize / feed your bonsai? I don't necessarily have bonsai, but I have a few potted Japanese Maples, and would love for them to thrive as much as possible, and any advice would be greatly appreciated!
He has a video called Watering and Feeding Bonsai Trees. He goes over the basics of fertilizing. I think he tends to favor pellet style fertilizer but I suppose itâs situational.
@@omargomez8714 thank you! Iâll look it up.
Bonsai- potted plant
Helpfull video, i started One big last year. There are both white mulberry (Morus alba) and black mulberry (Morus Nigra). Here in Italy there are both. For me the sweetest fruit Is the withe. Super super sweet. In Italy are used long time ago to limit the edges of the country properties, the are a lot of very old ones. The fruits are used also for make jam. Thank you for the video, Always interesting and all the time Is a pleasure to learn from you. Thank you
Thank you Andrea - where do you live. I used to visit Arco more than 30 years ago when bonsai was just starting to become popular in Italy.
@@peterchan3100 Thank you Mr. Peter, i live actually near to Arco, little more in the south of lake Garda, in Lombardia, Brescia province. At the end of September there Will be "Arcobonsai 2021 edition" so this show-display-market Is still working! I Hope to attend it, first time for me. I'm at the very beginning of this journey, thankyou to you also, your videos and books are a must. Thank you!
PETER, thank you for the tips,, them trees are beautiful
In Las Vegas,NV they grow like crazy. I started growing them from cuttings a few years ago to use as bonsai. I was able to get a 1 1/2â caliper cutting. I lived in a rental that had a white fruiting variety. They are invasive here, but most people complain about the pollen and allergies. the roots are invasive. The male tree is banned, but the fruiting ones are sold at a nursery where I worked.
What a great timing , I had collected Yamadoriâ of mulberry & fig last year. 3 mulberries have been successful & keep looking & wondering about the shape & style it can take when I repot them next monsoon. Thank you so much đ đđ»
Shaitooth !
@@peterchan3100 đ yes & guess what, I collected it from Jammu ! Its felling used to be forbidden during times of maharaja
So much good info. Thanks Peter. On a side note, some words are really nice ro say, they have a sizzle to them. Mulberry is definitely one of these. Mulberry. Mulberry. Mmmmmmm đ
I never thought of it like that - but my accent is different so what I say is not familiar to most peoples ears !!
I have 2 mulberry I did from cuttings..stuck them in ground and in just 2 years they have thickened up alot..have to be one of the fastest growing trees.
Sir also, can you make a video on the history or story of making bonsai in ancient times if your able to do sir thank you.
I have written about that in my books
@@peterchan3100 thank you sir chan
My great grandmother had a huge mulberry tree in her backyard that she used to pay me to climb as a boy and pick as many mulberries from as I could. She made mulberry pies but wanted them removed to stop the birds eating them, then staining her washing from relieving themselves after a big feed. I have a friend with a white mulberry tree, the mulberries dont turn black when they ripen, but go a light green colour.
Which country do you live in?
@@peterchan3100 Australia
Lovely trees đđ»đđČ
I love how youâre willing to experiment with new tree species for bonsai! Very nice mulberries
Gonna have to find me some mulberry trees and try đ, thx for sharing Peterđ. Can't to see the next one, cheers đ.
Are you in the UK - If so I will send you some cuttings
@@peterchan3100 Hi Peter đ, sadly I'm not in UK, but hopefully someday we'll get there đ.
Thank you for a great video! I air layered some mulberry garden trees earlier this summer and will make some bonsai!
Fantastic! I Have many of these Growing wild in my backyard. I have been contemplating digging up the 3 inch trunk this winter and put it in a pot. It will look beautiful. But it is such a brittle wood.
Peter, really like the trunks on these. We don't have Mulberry as bonsai here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Hi Peter, as usual, great video! You have a Morus nigra though, a black mulberry, not a Morus alba, a white mulberry. Anyway, I love your videos. Also, great pics of dinners with friends! đđđââïžđââïžđââïž
I have mulberry tree in my house and I will try to make it bonsai
Wow a great looking bonsai.
Here in northern USA (zone-6) mulberry grows wild, and they are nearly impossible to kill. I have several bonzi started and have lots of fun with them because of there vigorous growth.
God speed
Ideal for bonsai if they grow so vigorously
Thank you so much for all these tutorials Peter! Can you please do a video on Jade?
I wish I was in India because we dont have decent Jade plants here - so I cannot demonstrate on them
@@peterchan3100 Oh, I understand. That's alright Peter âșïž
ikut belajar caranya membuat bonsainya bang
đčđčđčđčđčđčđčđčđčđčđčđč thanks Peter
Nice ...
Great! I have hundreds saplings in my yard.
Beautiful trees
đŽAfter watching this I fancy some mulberry wine đ· đ„Žđ
I didn't know they grew as cuttings, however in Spain are considered weeds. They grow fast and thick.
Thank you Peter, good info!
Could you make something about Birch please?
I will one day although I have shown one or two in older videos. Birch are difficult subjects to bonsai.
very wonderful experience đ
Accept my respect

Mulberries must grow in your country
Mulberrys can grow VERY fast out in the normal ground!!!
Love your video's Peter! I'm learning so much! Just wondering whether you have a special soil mix for growing mulberry cuttings in? Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Greetings from Australia!
Just 'peat' or similar compost - plus Sand -50-50
At my grandmother's garden im Turkey they have two kind of mulberry trees, some have Black / dark violett fruits, others have white fruits. I think that's where the name "white mulberry" comes from.
Yes, in Libya even ripe ones remained green but the ones in India turn deep maroon
Secoind!
Wednesday bonsai breakfast with Peter Chan đ âïž đ§
I would be interested to see you work on Podocarpus / Buddhist Pine if you have any. đ
Sir i have white mulberry tree and bonsai both . Here in India white mulberry are very common and they are sweet in test and white in colour
I love gnarly trunks!
could you do a video on ash tree (fraxinus) one day? :)
What a coincidence. Bought 4 mulberry plants recently for my garden
The mulberries in India have elongated leaves
@@peterchan3100 yeah right
Huh. I'm in the Eastern Coast of the US and it gets fairly cold here. We have mulberry trees growing wild everywhere, they're almost a weed. Maybe different species do better than others?
Just checked Wikipedia and it says Red Mulberry is native here, but White Mulberry is invasive from Asia. Judging from the pictures though the ones I'm think of are white, the red ones have longer looking berries than I've ever seen.
The Asian ones are the ones grown for silk worms. Fruit are not so nice. Some of the ones I have seen in India have long fruit like caterpillars but sweet.
I didn't know as we have winter in uk :)))
Do you have different varieties of mulberry or are they all the same cultivars??? White mulberry grow out white before the fruit ripens I believe.
Can I dig up root of mulberry tree with trunk cut short? Thank you so much.
Can you please advise the age of the three mulberry bonsai you were working on. Thanks
Is that a lilac two trees to the left of the mulberry? I am trying to grow different varieties in containers in mostly sun, but sometimes the leaves get brown spots on them. Zone 7b mid south east U.S.
White mulberry have white fruit!
Is it typical for mulberries to grow branches in clusters?
Mr Peter Post more videos
When should I air layer this thing?
Hi Peter, I just got my first job at a garden centre thanks to you. I was wondering if you'd ever tried any Australian native trees in your work? My native Tasmania has some beautiful, rare conifers and beech trees but I've heard eucalyptus is impossible to create bonsai with, is this true? Really enjoy your videos. Thanks :)
It's difficult, but i wouldn't say impossible. Cultivars tend to do a little better than natural variants. If you're keen on trying some aussie natives i recomend the good old bottle brush as a starting point while you trial run a few eucs.
From pics that I have seen of Australian bonsai - some species seem to be very suitable eg 'Bottlebrush' and some of the Eucalypts. But since I dont live in Oz, I have never tried them.
@Shinroar Look up Aussie Bonsai Bloke on CZcams. He has a nice collection of natives. It might take a bit of time to browse his catalogue because he has a lot of long videos but if you find the ones where he shows the bonsais from native species they are very interesting. Heâs also experimenting with new styles that fit with the natural growing habits of the local trees.
Mullbairy trees are cold hardy plants in Pullman wa USA đșđž thare is them trees thare and they do just fine
Im only one of few to grew them here
Sadly locals have no idea
Now here's a tree my property is brimming full of...I gotta say, I love my mulberry trees (but not when the birds eat them and perch above the cars LOL).
They are called white mulberries those that produce white fruits and black mulberries those produce black fruits; white fruits are sweeter and i have a white mulberry bonsai
We dont get the white ones in UK
@@peterchan3100 I understand i write from Italy ; we distinguish them in black mulberry and white mulberry
I make cuttings 2inch diameter or even more, n succeeded, tropics SEA
Yes - the mulberries used for silk worms root very easily.
People call it white mulberry but the fruit actually has light yellow greenish colour fruit
đđ
Hello Peter, is this black mulberry, or white mulberry?
He had both going, I think!
Most of mine are Black
I think the leaves are less meaty on the white varieties. Not too many here in Indiana. Most consider mulberry a weed here! Here they thicken about 1-2" a season in girth early and more once they're rolling. I tried root cuttings from a roadside 'dozer rescue batch of trees. The roots proper made it through the July transplant into buckets but their root cuttings...don't look so good.
we defoliate the tree to induce it to bear fruits..
I can never get my mulberry to air layer iv'e tried 3 years in a row. Is there a secret to air layering Mulberry?
They seem quite easy to air layer
@@peterchan3100 No luck on my end lol, maybe i will do cuttings instead thank you for your kind words
You always post videos about species the day after I pronounce them deadâŠoh well⊠time to try again with more knowledge
I have Crimson queen cuttings that just won't root, any suggestions?
Depends when you made the cuttings and how you did them. Ordinary Acer palmatum we get about 50% success when making cuttings. Airlayers -100%
I do late winter hard wood cuttings with success. if that helps.
@@peterchan3100 I actually did not cut them, I purchased them from someone, and they are heel cuttings. I would imagine they were cut the day/day after I purchased them, which was early August.
@@starkieable I didn't know some people are selling cuttings. They shouldn't do that because cuttings need to be fresh - if you leave them for more than a couple of hours they are not viable ie useless !!
@@peterchan3100 oh gosh I didn't know that âčïž
