Mulberry in the Planter Bed

When I first pruned the mother mulberry I planted about ten cuttings in this planter bed. Along the way only these four cuttings managed to survive. About a month back the two smaller cuttings actually got fried one hot afternoon. I left them alone and some how they are survivors. New leaves began to grow again. I've been trimming them once in a while .... wanna make sure they don't grow too large here. No flowers nor fruits yet ......

I have a mulberry growing in my garden. So far, I only harvested 2 fruits. :o( Don't know if I should fertilize it more to get more harvest.

Hi J.C.
You should prune it first if your plant is huge and then fertilise it. But if your plant is still young, then fertilise it first to get more leaves and then flowers and fruits. hth
