To keep tall varieties in bounds, consider summer pruning to cut back the branches and make the tree more of a rounded shape. Mulberries have few pests other than birds. Usually a large tree will produce more mulberries than you and the birds can eat, but for dwarf and weeping types, cover the trees with netting during fruiting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarvesting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMulberries will often drop from the tree when ripe.
