Which fruit trees graft best with mulberry?

Summary: Which fruit trees can be grafted with mulberry?

The mulberry has always been one of the trees most loved by people, and every part of the mulberry tree can be put to use: the leaves can feed silkworms and be brewed as tea, the mulberries can be eaten, and the branches can be used in medicine. You could say it is one tree with many uses.

Which trees can mulberry be grafted with?

Since we are grafting, the requirements for grafting must be met. The mulberry belongs to the genus Morus in the family Moraceae, so trees that can be grafted with mulberry also need to be of the same family and genus. China currently has 15 mulberry species and 3 varieties, so the varieties of mulberry are quite rich. At present, the main things that can be grafted with mulberry are some mulberry varieties of relatively good quality, allowing them to complement each other's advantages.

Of course, when planting, you also need to choose a suitable grafting variety according to the purpose of the mulberry. For example, mulberry used for raising silkworms should naturally be grafted with mulberry varieties whose leaves grow well, while mulberry used for harvesting mulberries should naturally be grafted with high-quality fruit mulberries.

Which mulberries are currently more popular on the market?

Here I will first talk about the fruit mulberry varieties currently more popular on the market. A few days ago I just wrote an article about a mulberry variety currently much liked by growers - Taiwan Long Fruit Mulberry (Taiwan, China). The long fruit mulberry has actually always existed; there are wild long fruit mulberries in the southwestern region of China. However, this new type of Taiwan Long Fruit Mulberry is a variety improved by using wild long fruit mulberry and large fruit mulberry, with better quality and better taste. At present, many inland areas have introduced and planted this long fruit mulberry.

Another is a mulberry with a rather special color. The mulberries produced by this mulberry tree are milky white in color, which is quite attractive. At present, the main varieties of white fruit mulberry include: Baiyuwang, Hongmanao, Xiangjinshen and other varieties.

Next, let me also mention the leaf mulberry varieties used for raising silkworms. At present, the mulberry varieties used for raising silkworms are mainly the Sangnong series of mulberry varieties, and leaf mulberry varieties such as Tongxiangqing, Yu 711, and Huangsang No. 14 are all quite good.

Mulberry grafting methods

At present, there are also many grafting methods for mulberry, such as root grafting, bud grafting, and branch grafting, all of which are relatively commonly used methods at present. Although the grafting methods for mulberry are simple, if you want to increase the survival rate of mulberry, the key still depends on whether the post-grafting management work is done properly. After grafting mulberry, you should promptly check the survival status of the grafted mulberry. For failed grafts, promptly carry out supplementary grafting work, and for successful grafts, promptly loosen the binding at the graft interface. In addition, field management work also needs to be done well, with timely watering, weeding, fertilizing, etc., to promote mulberry growth.
