Mulberry tree has arrived - 200cm+ morus nigra

I have just took delivery of the Mulberry tree I managed to source from a local garden centre which was very reasonably priced (£80) compared to other trees I've seen online of the same height.(£150+) The Mulberry is a Morus Nigra and s a few years old and is already over 200cm tall, the mulberry has already been topped from the main branch which should allow me to train the mulberry in to an espalier trellis to try and keep the height of the mulberry tree manageable. I plan on planting the mulberry tree in a full size whiskey barrel as I do not have the space to plant such a potentially large tree. Another reason of planting the mulberry in a full size whiskey barrel is that if I move property in the future I can take it with me. Here's a video of the tree for anyone interested

 

When you have potted up the Mulberry in the barrel, use the 30litre pot with handles...to grow spuds in..
