The best place to kill a mess of breakfast squirrels. Or turn out some coonhound pups. They ripen about the same time the kitten coons come out here.

The only good I could see with our farm's mulberry tree is they draw off some of the starling depredation of berries that actually do have flavor. Lord only knows why.

Carl, have you tried mulberries from other mulberry trees? They are highly variable in sugar content from tree to tree and even the same tree, depending on berry load, rainfall and the intensity of the sun, as the berries ripen. Some mulberries are very good flavored. There's some mulberries in my area that are as long as 5 or 6 normal mulberries and there's one tree on a friend's farm that has mulberries into October. I have several hundred mulberry trees on my farm and only harvest mulberries from a few of the trees that consistently have the best flavored berries. By grafting you should be able to make consistently better flavored mulberries, just like we do with other fruit trees. Keith

I have heard that Spanish mulberries have more flavor. The mulberries on our tree are very juicy and sweet...but lack an acid balance. I believe that is typical for the American mulberries.

That is true, no real acid bite to them like a blackberry or muscadine. Mostly sweet which may explain why some don't care for them.
