I'm trying to learn my way around and hope I'm doing this right. If not, someone please advise me. My question has to do with a small Mulberry tree I just purchased this week. It seems I waited too long to locate a Mulberry tree of the size I wanted so at a local nursery, I found two small ones and went ahead and purchased one, knowing they grow fast, and wanting to be sure I didn't miss out entirely this year. On each of the trees they had, the trunk had been somehow broken about two inches above the soil line and there were two side shoots about 2-3 feet tall. The owner of the shop said if it were hers, she would cut one off and stake the other to make it the trunk. It sounded logical to me but when I got it home, my husband said it won't produce fruit. I'm wondering if I should return it. Can anyone please tell me if this tree is worth keeping? Thanks so much!
