Article: Mulberry malady.(Letters)(Letter to the Editor)

Tree Doctor: We recently purchased a home just outside Las Vegas that has a large (fruitless) mulberry out front. Many of the branches have died, and the southwest side of the tree is starting to look pretty bare.

My parents have the same problem with their mulberry and were told at a nursery here that it is due to overexposure to light, as the side of their tree that is suffering the most has a street lamp nearby. Our tree, however, seems to be suffering on the side opposite the nearest street lamp. The previous owner stated she was told it was some sort of fungal infection. Is there anything we can do to bring health back to our tree?
