When to plant mulberry
NC State Extension says to prune mulberry in late fall or winter to avoid bleeding and gives no planting date. As a deciduous tree it is set out as dormant stock in early spring while the soil is workable.
Mulberry is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
