Fruitless Mulberry Tree for huglekultur

I am in the California desert and had to cut back a large part of a dying Fruitless Mulberry Tree. Does anyone know if this is a type of tree that is good for huglekultur? I have never done this before but don't want to have regrets for throwing the wood out (it is not a good burner for the fireplace since it smokes mostly).

In my experience in both desert and temperate hugels, almost any wood works, some just require aging.

We did out first desert hugel beds with some older eucalyptus. We were in the Joshua Tree area. It worked well, even being eucalyptus!

I would consider the mulberry prime material.

I would make sure it was dead, dead, dead.
I've seen new growth on mulberry branches that had been off the tree for a month.
Mind you, I'm in a very rainy humid Ohio valley, so you may not have to worry about it.

Thank  you! I am in the Antelope Valley and will try it then. I read some types of wood aren't good so I didn't know. The wood is definitely dead which is why we had to cut so much off the tree.
