How to Stop Mulberry Trees From Bearing Fruit
- 1). Purchase a fruit eliminator spray from any garden center. These specialty sprays are comprised of hormones that prevent the tree from producing fruit.
- 2). Wait until early spring when the mulberry tree has produced flowers, but not yet produced fruit. You can also spray as soon as you see an abundance of flowers buds that have not yet opened.
- 3). Use a thermometer to ensure that the daytime temperature is between 60 and 90 degrees F.
- 4). Pour the fruit eliminator solution into a garden sprayer and mix with water per the manufacturer's instructions.
- 5). Spray the fruit eliminator solution onto the leaves of the mulberry plant until it is completely saturated. Concentrate the application on the flowers and flower buds of the tree as this is where the fruit develops.
