It is my understanding that it takes a mulberry tree 2 years to mature.

There are a variety of different mulberry strains and they each have different rates of maturity. Luckily, in sericulture, it is not necessary for the trees to grow to maturity or bear fruit. In fact, they normally don't grow to trees at all. in traditional and large scale sericulture, cuttings of mulberry are propagated asexually. Shoots spring up after about 5-6 months. After this first harvest the mulberry "tree" is coppiced from that point forward which allows the new shoots to be harvested about every 50-60 days in the proper climate.
