That's probably the difference between your dad and me. I must admit, I’d probably leave the damn tree on the ground. That’s probably the difference between your dad and me.

But I guess there’ll be plenty of firewood next winter. Awwwww, that’s sad that great old tree is gone. But I guess there’ll be plenty of firewood next winter.

I believe that mulberries root quite readily from hardwood cuttings taken in summer - some even talk of 8ft (!) long branches taking root, but the norm would I think be to use strong 2-year old shoots about 8 inches long, put in the ground in light shade, with about 5-6 inches below ground. Might be worth putting a few cuttings in, then you could give the tree another 100 years or so ;o) Peter Sad end to the tree, but a nice lesson in tree removal.
