You know you have a problem when spring comes and suddenly plants start getting delivered that you forgot you ever ordered. I opened the box from UPS… “What the heck did I order from Baker’s Creek?” My mom says “Well, maybe you didn’t order it and they sent it by mistake.” Once I saw that it was 2 dwarf mulberry trees and 2 yakon starts, I knew it must have been me. “Na, these are things I WOULD order… I just don’t remember doing it.”
So, just in time for my decision to invite more birds into the yard, I received my dwarf mulberry trees. SUPER! Ask, and you shall receive!! The mulberries went into the back yard near the fence, but I put the yakon into a pot in the greenhouse because it think it may be a little chilly for them outside for a few more weeks. Here are the planting tags that came with both plants…
