I have a small mulberry tree in a pot. It has been doing fine, but in the last two days about a quarter of the leaves developed a problem. The tips and edges of those leaves look like they got fried or freeze-dried. They're completely dry and brittle, and you can crumble them like dry autumn leaves, but the center and bottom of the leaf is normal. Also, the dry brittle parts are still green, not discolored at all, no yellow or brown areas, no spots, no mold, etc. Any idea what is wrong with it and how I can save it? Thank you!

The yard is covered with brown-spotted yellow leaves from our three mulberry trees. Are the trees diseased?
This is a Leaf Spot fungus. It generally will not harm a tree but you should try to control it with
a fungicide treatment.
Clean up any dropped leaves on the ground around the tree and dispose of.

Have 2 Mulberry trees in the backyard. One is the type with one large lobe as the leaf and the other is the type that looks like a Maple leaf. I live in Las Vegas, so it does get exceedingly hot here which causes me to spend a great deal of money on irrigation. My question is this: why does the single leaf and multi-trunked mulberry tree leaf not brown on the ends while the single-trunk mulberry with the maple looking leaf suffer? They both get the same amount of water. They are both fruit-bearing trees and I planted them about 8 years ago (from bird presents because you cannot get the mulberrry tree here). They are roughly 20 feet tall and with about a 25-30 foot canopy. The 2 pictures are one from each tree.
It could be that the tree that gets more stressed has some trouble with its roots. For example, it may have run into a solid barrier or a patch of poorer soil underground, or be nearer to a street that provides a source of salt or chemicals that can harm trees.

Hello -- I have two mulberrry trees, but the fruits never turn dark until they've fallen to the ground, so I'm wondering if I have a white mulberry tree. If so, how do I know when to pick them? I picked a few large white ones that were ready to drop and they taste find, but nothing overwhelming. Also, they've been fruiting for a few weeks already, so are they early for June? I live in CA so perhaps the weather has cause them to fruit early? Any information would be appreciated! Thank you!

i have a mulberry tree and it was healthy and growing well throughout the year. But this summer the leaves are dying and the new leave buds are damaged.when i planted the tree previous year it had mealubugs on its stem but then the tree was recovered.Please tell me the problem and its solution.
This article may help you pinpoint the issue.
My tree was fine and got the usual leaves. It is over 50 years old and huge. Suddenly the green leaves are falling this summer. We did go through a 5 year drought. What can I do.
Mulberry Trees can drop leaves if they are stressed; drought would certainly fall into that reason. Heavy rains or wet soil also can be a reason for leaf drop.
Watch for other signs of issues; pests, leaf markings etc.
