Adopted mulberry clipping in need
Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 3:24 pm
For as long as I can remember, I've always loved mulberry trees. Unfortunately I could never eat much of the fruit because the birds would always get to them before we could.
A friend of mine told me that a co-worker of theirs had some Mulberry clipping's he had set in a pot of soil and offered them to us. I was so excited!
But when I saw the clippings in the pot I was worried.

I desperately want to seperate, straighten and stake them, but I'm a little worried about the stress it would put on them (they already look stressed enough) and if they'd survive it. They were also given to me in very shallow soil. We've topped the soil up a little until we figure out what to do. The leaves are also in a poor condition and I'm not sure if it's been eaten or if they're even likely to survive or not.
Can anyone offer me any advice to make sure these guys get the best chance of survival?
