question.. My Mulberry is well established, probably 40'+ tall. There is some clubbing along some established branches w/ some decay there that I'd like to remove.
One branch in particular has a swing tied to it so I'd like to keep some of it, but I'd like to remove the distal end about 6 feet from trunk because of scaring/rot and inconvenient placement over yard.
Should I, under any circumstances, cut a ~6-8" diameter limb mid-branch? If so, how do I leave cut to best heal?
I've seen debate about tarring/sealing pruned large branches. When my Elm lost a very large branch (2'+ d. at girdle), the tree company left it exposed and the tree remains healthy years out. Would sealing be more appropriate if cut mid-branch? -
Good to hear from someone that knows the proper way to prune a fruitless mulberry. I'm so tired of seeing scarred mulberries from years of butchering (pollarding). Possession of chainsaw and loppers do not a tree trimmer make.

We had these trees while living in the San Francisco bay area. Now we live in Phoenix, AZ. Do you think they would survive the heat and intense sun? We're looking for a good shade tree that will help keep our house shaded/cooler. Thank you for your response.

My fruitless mulberry roots like to get into the waste lines, lots of surface roots also, and cracked concrete. How is it for firewood?

Thanks for the info and camera shots, I actually just bought one of these. And can't wait for it to grow.
