mulberry bush

Location: Tucson, AZ. I planted a mulberry bush about 4 years ago. The tree itself is thriving. But each late winter/spring (for 2 years now), I get berries even before the leaves show up. Then the leaves come out in full force and the berries drop off, all dried up and shriveled. Should I be covering the tree with shadecloth or something in the late winter, when temps get into the 80’s in Feb and March, to slow down the early berry production?
