Mulberries grow to be MASSIVE!!! You need to selectively cut it back to one stem if you plan on keeping it or you will have big problems down the road. Also of note, birds love the berries and can get drunk on them and smash into your house. Two killed themselves last spring. They will also poop the berries on your house leaving permanent purple stains if not caught before the sun bakes it into the paint.

Nonetheless, I love my Mulberry tree!!
