Just moved in to a home with an old mulberry tree. The previous owners did a brutal hack-job pruning it, so now it’s extremely off-balance, and I don’t know if it can be saved let alone made more balanced again. Would it be better to pollard the other side, so it’s not leaning heavily on the unpruned side? Also the pruned sections have been left as stumps away from the tree – is this correct? I thought that pruning should go back to the collar?
Any advice you could give me that would help this tree survive then thrive would be so appreciated. I’m in the Midlands, UK if it makes a difference.
