We had a "fruitless" mulberry tree about 2 feet in diameter and 30 feet tall, that was lovely until.... it was pruned once. Then it went absolutely bonkers. Like The Thing (1982) crazy. (remember the dog?) Sending strait suckers in all directions that would reach ten feet in a few months. They crisscrossed and snarled up and after numerous attempts to get back on track I finally got fed up and pruned it short - like 2 inches tall.
