As an experienced arborist, I've seen poor pruning devastate plane mulberry trees. Avoid these examples: oversized cuts that never heal properly, leading to anarchic new shoots. Cuts too far from the branch collar weaken the tree and prevent healing; too close leave snags that dry out, inviting rot and infection.
Follow my proven tips for healthy plane mulberry pruning to prevent these issues.
Best wishes for your mulberry tree!
