The Farm Get's a Christmas Present!

What happens here

The presenter moves to a fence line and demonstrates planting a Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry tree. He explains the strategic placement: about 8-10 feet from the fence to allow for mowing and to provide shade for cattle. He uses the dibble to create a slit, inserts the bare-root mulberry sapling (which has a long taproot), and then uses the dibble to close the soil firmly around the roots, ensuring there are no air pockets. He reiterates the importance of making a divot for water retention.

Goal: Plant a mulberry tree to provide shade for cattle and for fruit production.
