The mulberry tree typically has a fibrous root system. This type of root system consists of many thin, branching roots that spread out widely and help stabilize the tree while efficiently absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. Additionally, some mulberry species may develop a taproot, especially when young, which can provide deeper access to moisture. Overall, the root system is adaptable, supporting the tree's growth in various soil conditions.
Mulberry trees (genus Morus) typically have a fibrous root system. This type of root system consists of many thin roots that spread out horizontally, allowing the tree to effectively absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Unlike a taproot system, which has one dominant central root, mulberry's fibrous roots provide stability and adaptability in various soil conditions.
As you probably geussed, it depends on tree size. I just pulled a mulberry tree that sprouted this summer in my raspberry row. To my surprise it had a yellow tap root two feet deep. Had to use the loader on my tractor to pull it! Any tree with a tap root will be well established and endure drought and some abuse.
