Mulberries are falling around here.

I had a couple of bushes growing in near the swing set, but my master gardener daughter cut them down. They are growing back, but no MB's yet. I like their vaguely sweet and subtle jammy taste .

the creek i fished at as a kid had a mulberry tree near my fishing spot. used to pack a lunch and pick dessert every trip in the summer. when i lived in north carolina, we had a white mulberry in the front yard. not nearly as good.

My old man use's the mullberries for filler and mix them with raspberries for the cobblers. If done right it taste ok, just throw Ice cream on it if it taste like crap.

Anyone seen one on the river bank?, carp and catfish went crazy on them where I used fish... At home its a good way to get car repainted purple.. Our tree at home has a couple of orioles feast along with the other birds.

A tasty treat this time of year but birds eating them makes a mess on the car. They make an excellent wine.

i would rather deal with mulberry than tree of heaven. probably cut/pull a couple hundred from my yard yearly.

Because they never die

I plucked one out of a raised bed once, then decided to stick it in a bonsai pot and see what it would do.

Like 7 years later, it's a really nice bonsai tree with good form and miniature leaves. No fruit yet.

My grandma used to make mulberry pie. We've got a tree in the back yard I'll pluck a few off when I'm mowing.

I have a tree in my backyard.

I also go along the White River downtown where there are dozens of trees. I have gallons of mulberries in the freezer. We love them. I make mulberry cobbler that everyone says the exact same thing when they try it, "Wow, this tastes great! I didn't know you could do anything with mulberries."

I don't know why people don't use them more. The fully ripe ones are almost as good as a blackberry but with no seeds to deal with.

There are 2 mulberry trees on the route that my wife and I walk nightly. I grab a few off each one. Would like 2 have a couple in the yard.

Be warned, the Starlings and Robins will eat the berries and crap purple all over the place.

And the birds sit on the fence and the seeds. They spring up and take over the area. We keep them cleared but the lazy neighbors do not and the are is thick with them.
