    Welcome to the Forum, carmo.

    Dunno which species you've got, but around here mulberries seem to grow like weeds! I have a persistent one growing through my neighbor's fence into my backyard---despite persistent whacking down of it over many years, it keeps coming back! I have seen mulberries growing in sun, shade, and inbetween. So, I think that if you treat your tree with basic common sense---good drainage, moderate sun, etc.---it should be OK.

    Dear Togata57,
    Thanks so much, the tree was given to me by a friend i really do not know what type it is but it does have the blackberries on them and i have planted it between two trees it does get adequate sunshine in the evening, it's been a month now the stems are green but the leaves are dying they are turning yellow. any ideas ??
    Thank you.
