Mulching the Mulberry Tree

Posted by TopVeg - May 11th, 2007

In January we planted a Mulberry Tree (latin name is Morus nigra) to celebrate the anniversary of William Wilberforce’s abolition of the slave trade.

The Mulberry has just started to break its buds. It is not unusual for newly planted trees to have a slow start. The roots will be slowly developing in their new home.

The tree has been mulched with grass clippings, which can be seen at the base of the tree.

The tree is being kept moist by watering when necessary. The next job is to give it a decent stake, to anchor it firmly in the ground, and to help the Mulberry Tree grow straight.
