Fertilize: For optimal growth of white mulberry 'Pendula', use balanced nutrition fertilizers with equal NPK ratios in spring, and high nitrogen variants during vegetative phases, every 4-6 weeks. Reduce frequency in winter, apply early morning or cool evenings, and water post-fertilization to enhance nutrient absorption.

Pruning: White mulberry 'Pendula' features weeping branches and is prized for its beauty. Prune dead or crossing branches in early spring to enhance shape and airflow. Thinning the canopy and cutting back long branches fosters growth, improves sunlight access, and boosts fruit yield. Always use clean, sharp tools.
