Some of the leaves on my fruitless mulberry are curling up and drying out and falling on the ground. It is not happening to the whole tree just some of the branches. Any ideas? This just started a day or two ago. The leaves are not turning yellow
It sounds like it is a fungus. Treat the tree with a fungicide and this should help.
While the tree is providing shade, the berries are messy. The flies are awful and I am constantly cleaning up the mulberries.
I think what you have is a mulberry tree. It can be tricky to keep them from fruiting. There is no DIY method, but you can have a tree specialist come out and spray the tree with a sterilizing spray. It has to be done yearly, and typically the tree will still produce some fruit. It is just the amount will be greatly reduced.
Why would the tip of the leaves on a fruitless mulberry turn brown?
This is typically a sign that there is a problem with the watering. This article will help you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/what-causes-brown-edges-on-leaves-of-plant.htm
After a very abundant fruiting and beautiful large green leaves from April/May on, our long well-established mulberry tree is now suffering (starting early Aug. ) with massive leaf loss, and remaining leaves are looking wilted and brown, shortly due to fall also I fear! We live in southwest France and have not had much rain but other mulberry trees nearby show no sign of problems of leaf loss so early. There are vertical cracks in the trunk, but they have been present for years only opening up as the tree has grown. HELP! What can we do?

Our horses have eaten all the bark off most of the tree. It is a fruitless variety mulberry. . . very established. What can be done to make sure the tree doesn't die?

Hopefully your tree was not girdled all the way around the trunk, it if was, you have enough bark left to try some of the reattachment methods listed in the article.
I bought a small mulberry tree about a year ago and I kept it in its same pot. Did I stunt the tree's growth? I will soon be buying a bigger pot because I will be moving this summer.
Thank you and please respond ASAP.
Your Mulberry tree should be happy in a container as long as it receives proper culture. If your tree is a full sized Mulberry, eventually it will need to be planted in the ground. Until a tree starts to become rootbound, with proper care, it will be fine in a container.
I know this isn't a garden type question but I raise silkworms and I was wondering if anyone knew of an artifical silkworm food used from mulberry leaves any type of help and ingredients would be great. Thank you.
There are many sites on the internet selling silkworm food. Place "silkworm food" in a browser and you will find plenty of sources.
