    Why is my Charlotte Russe mulberry plant still just a stick?

    £10 for a pot grown small stick seems a bit rich? Surely there should have been some growth on it by now. Are these grown on a rootstock or there own roots? The reason I ask is there appears to be a bud coming out of the compost at the bottom of the 'stick'

    Mine has buds on the stick but they haven't opened yet.

      Are you sure that the bud isn't a weed?
      Its alive, result for a tenner
      Feed the soil, not the plants.

        My plant, one of the first batch released, growing in the ground, is currently a collection of sticks with no leaves on. I don't think it's necessarily dead just yet though.

        Part of me wishes I'd kept it as a houseplant, it looked beautiful and happily fruited away in a 4" pot. I waited til the first fruit ripened before plonking it in the garden. Maybe I'll take a cutting just for in the house. It didn't taste of much mind. The £5 late season sale morus Nigra I picked up last year has begun leafing out in the past few days. I'm not sure anything leafs out later than the Charlotte Russe.

          On the bright side - it's unlikely that the new growth will get frosted

            Mine is also a stick. Though it was £25 with a “free” pot. Got a bit carried away with an order.. only to find the price drop a few weeks later.. oh well! Stems are green and a couple of leaves are coming. I’m expecting it will take this year to settle itself.

              Leaves?, what are they?

                My stick is budless! (Why am I reminded of the dead parrot sketch on Monty python?)

                  I appear to have a basal shoot forming at the bottom of the 'stick'

                  I may add a piccie of my basal shoot if it comes to anything and the leaves ever open.

                    You mean that yours isn't producing its first fruits yet?

                    Neither is mine.

                      That's about the most exciting thing I've heard today. Its good to have something to look forward to.

                              Ah, but your leaves are up the stick. Mine is a stick with summat greenish appearing at ground level.
