This video explores the process of propagating mulberry trees using green cuttings taken during the summer. It details a method using a humidity tent, rooting hormones, and heat mats to encourage growth. The demonstration highlights the importance of maintaining high humidity and leaving a small amount of foliage on the cuttings to act as an energy source while roots establish.

Results from several mulberry varieties, including Kip Parker and Black Prince, show successful strike rates ranging from 33% to 61% after one month. Observations suggest that while rooting hormone is often standard, summer cuttings may thrive just as well without it. This approach provides a viable alternative to dormant winter propagation, allowing for orchard expansion during the active growing season.
