Der rechte Zweig der Maulbeere spendet im Sommer angenehmen Schatten. Der linke Ast … Ich würde ihn gerne abschneiden. Die andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, die Maulbeere abzuschneiden. Gedanken?

To close to the black walnut. I would remove it.
Mulberries are a hassle. Cut it down and be prepared… it may re-emerge all over. Cut as close to the ground as you can and apply herbicide.
I love black walnuts. During the fall i go around and collect and cure the nuts and theyre amazing.
Talk to an arborist/tree surgeon about this. You don’t want something to happen to the walnut tree.
You can cut it, and it will resprout. Just hee cutting it back. I like mulberry for plant fiber, so you could use the prunings if you like.
I’m not a fan of herbicides, but I do use them in some limited cases. If you get tired of cutting the mulberry back, you could cut back and spot treat the stump and any shoots for a bit.
Agreeing with everyone saying to cut the Mulberry, but be careful and do some consultations before applying any herbicide because of how close it is to your walnut. The last thing you want is the herbicide affecting your walnut too.
I’ll take the wood. Takes 2 years or so to season properly, but I’d love the smell when burning it!
You can cut the branch you don’t like. The Mulberry won’t care. That saves all the drama that follows cutting it down.
Girdle the Mulberry with a thin cut in the Spring when the buds are starting to form. Apply tissue paper soaked in herbicide to the cut, and then wrap the cut with plastic wrap. This will carry large amounts of herbicide into the crown
cut it up burn it ,unless you want mulberry bird 🐦 shiet on your car.worthless,but what ) why there there is from back when they built the house town.there was a lot of polish ,finish German they loved mulberry pies lol
Thanks for all the input! I hadn’t thought of herbicide because I’ve only used organic resources. Researched and best time to cut down is late summer or fall. So I’ll cut that left branch and likely cut to the ground next October.
In the spring I you would air layer a clone from the mulberry and plant the clone in a new spot. It would slightly decrease the amount of time before the tree produces berries.
I’d say go ahead and cut it down. Mulberry trees are great, but those trees are too close. And mulberries get planted by birds all over the place, so you don’t have to feel bad. Do NOT cut the mulberry down until you’re ready to apply an herbicide. I recommend triclopyr. Very low toxicity to humans/wildlife. Breaks down quickly enough. Binds to soil particles readily/doesn’t affect other plants. Bonide stump and vine killer is a good option that uses triclopyr as the active ingredient. Wait for a warmer winter day (a frozen stump won’t absorb the herbicide). Above 40 degrees should be good. Cut the trunk a foot or two above the ground and apply the herbicide to the cambium layer (just under the bark). If it happens to sprout again in the spring, you can make a second cut closer to the ground and apply the triclopyr once more.
