The Parks and Gardens Service, which is part of the Department of Modernization of Administration, Urban Quality and Participation, directed by José Guillén, and the concession company STV Gestión have begun to develop innovative tests on some moreras of the municipality to get them not be fruitful and as such reduce possible harm.
These are experimental grafts whose results will be checked at the beginning of next spring.
The berries produce a fruit that causes different problems of dirt in streets and cars as well as safety to pedestrians when producing slips.
For this reason, the Department of Modernization, Urban Quality and Participation is working with the concessionaire STV Gestión in getting the current mulberries no longer bear fruit.
"What is done is an intensive tertiary in some moreras of the municipality, after which, qualified personnel performs a grafting of a fruitless copy by means of a veneer.The objective is none other than to get that copy to modify its 'genetics' and start giving new green stems that will allow that in the next flowering there are no blackberries ", explains the mayor of the branch, Jose Guillén.
At present, we are working on a dozen specimens located in districts.
So, Guillén insists, what you want to check is if you can modify the genetics of the hundreds of copies that are in the municipality of Murcia, but will have to wait next spring to check the results of this project.
These mulberries do not need a different care than the ones that have not been modified, they only have to direct the new sprouting that emerges from those placed plates, and eliminate the shoots that appear from the old branch.
