Young mulberry trees should be watered thoroughly twice a week if growing on light soils and once a week if growing on clay soils. Later, the red mulberry is drought tolerant, although under water scarcity it may drop its fruits too early which results in berry yield losses.

Mulberry trees grown from seed can take up to ten years to bear fruit. Mulberries are most often planted from large cuttings, which root readily. The mulberry plants allowed to grow tall have a crown height of 1.5 to 1.8 m (5 to 6 ft) from ground level and a stem girth of 10–13 cm (4–5 in).

Mulberry contains less amino acids, but in better ratios, improving the overall digestibility. Mulberry also has better absorption of nutrition for animals. Because of this, animals may need to eat less, which can reduce the farmers' costs. Mulberry contains more secondary compounds, tannins in particular.
Morus alba, known as white mulberry, common mulberry and silkworm mulberry, [2] is a fast-growing, small to medium-sized mulberry tree which grows to 10–20 m (33–66 ft) tall. It is generally a short-lived tree with a lifespan comparable to that of humans, although there are some specimens known to be more than 250 years old. [ 3 ]
Cut the fruit in half, then fours, so you can access the core to remove it, Morales says. Using a paring knife, loosen the pods from the sticky core and pull the pods out. Discard the white strands.
