I live in zone 6 and I have the Pakistan and the dwarf everbearing Mulberries. Both of them propagate easily from cuttings in summer. However, although they had no problem down to zero degree in winter when established, both broke dormancy too early in April. In the past three years all of my five trees got killed to the ground by late April frost or snow and I have no harvest so far. I can only hope for a really mild spring to finally get some fruits. On the contrary, native wild red mulberries fruit abundantly with little care.
If possible, get the cuttings from trees that are adapted to your local weather. A label saying" hardy in zone 6" doesn't mean it will produce in my case.
Zone 6, 45 inches precipitation, hard clay soil
