In recent years, an interest in mulberry saplings especially in black mulberry is increasing (Güneş and<br>Çekiç, 2004). Due to the problems mentioned above, it is far from to meet the commercial demands of black<br>mulberry saplings. In our research, two new sustainable vegetative propagation methods, stoolbed layering and<br>banking up methods, which are commonly used for apple and cherry rootstocks, were adapted to black mulberry<br>and were evaluated their applicability in order to obtain black mulberry sapling continuously.<br>Stool bed layering or mound-layering is used to propagate willow, poplar, apple, and a wide variety of other<br>woody perennial plants. The method consists of coppicing a plant to generate vigorous shoots from the crown. In<br>one year, the method can be used to generate 10-20 clones of the coppiced plant without killing the source plant<br>(Roberts and Mellenthin, 1957).
