They are folding upwards, whatsthat a sign of?

Some of the fruits actually turned dark red which I plucked off and ate lol, I pulled off the rest of the fruit to give the little guy more energy for growth,but its leaves have me wondering what could be wrong?

Hard to say. Not enough water or could even be too much. You should be watering it twice a week right now. Also, don't fertilize a plant when it is so new. I usually wait a full year before giving a plant any fertilizer.

It's doing great, i must have culled about 15 berries off it as I wanted the little guy to mature more before setting fruit, next year I'll let it fruit and see what happens.. But the leaf issue worked itself out..I'm sure it wad the ferts.. Since it was just a lil 1gal the roots prolly couldn't take the fish emulsion

I would totally recommend it too, the nursery i got it from was great to deal with and packed it really well... Get it earlyspring or late winter while it's still dormant

It looks like the birds ate the few mulberries that were on my tree so no worries on culling.

I may have a spot for the dwarf for next Spring. I understand that yours will only get around 6' tall. I book marked the site. Thanks.

My Teas Weeping Mulberry came from Tropica Mango Nursery in East Mesa. They do have another store in Phoenix too.
