No need for pruning as its a very small whip of a tree still. Sprayed with copper fungicide. The other 2 mulberries had some kind of leaf curl/spots that killed a half dozen leafs so I think a prevantative fungicide may be a good idea.

No fruit in the first year. It was a late start. Maybe better luck next year.

Transplanted into a half wine barrel. A very large increase in container size so I try and limit waterings.

Girardi is a productive mulberry with a dwarf growing habit. I wanted something that could be managed in a large container.
