My trees are over run with them. Had alot of rain so not quite as sweet as last week.

We are having a good mulberry year too.

Keith

The trees by us are loaded also lot of rain this spring

Can these over produce as to affect the taste. Found one on my property absolutely loaded, but what was black / ripe had almost no sweetness.

Freezing tomorrow...son gave dog a bowl and his teeth are purple

All that rain I got the trees are loaded.....

wonder if they would grow this far north, [u p ] michigan

Roy ..if u want i can dry some fruits and send you so you can try.

Mine at the farm don't last long after turning. Between birds squirrels and coons.. I don't know how many times I've seen a coon laid up all day in a tree.

That's the way they taste in my neighborhood too. You have to be pretty hungry to eat mulberries.

I hope to grow some here

Find a mulberry tree that overhangs lake or stream water and almost every carp, catfish and snapping turtle in that waterbody will be there waiting for falling berries.

Sent some young plants to my sister north of Rock , Mi.
15-20 yrs ago.
She thinks they froze out .
Possibly it was too late in the year to transplant.
So no root depth ?

Around here you can't kill them unless you get the tap root when pulling.

few trees I looked at were loaded but still very green yet.

Friends brought over a big bowel of them. The wife and I have never had mulberry pie before. So got the wife to bake a pie with them. She can make some good pies and she didn't fail this time either. Was back along the creek in back of the farm checking out the black raspberry's and seen the trees where just loaded with them. Going to pick a couple gallons and put them in the freezer for her to bake a couple this winter.
Raspberry's are drying up. they are loaded but aren't filling out. All the rain we had early got them going but we can't buy a rain now to get them finished. Hoping to get some rain to help out the blackberry's.

Mulberry and rhubarb pie is top of the line.

No,its all the rain at the wrong time

Yard and part of the garden is purple. Smaller than usual. Grand kids love them. IIRC I did too back then. Still do but too lazy to spend much time picking them.
just

Just put a tarp or sheet, you don't mind staining, under the tree and shake it hard. Off of a productive mulberry tree you can get 30 plus pounds collected in a few minutes. It does take a while to pick out the debris and few bad berries that fall.

Keith

sure look good, they look like blackberrys. never seen em before.

Sal did the work,dad just advised.

Mulberry trees can grow from zone 9 to zone 4 in the US. They are very common in my area. Anywhere a soft billed bird poops, that doesn't get mowed, you will find mulberry trees here.

I have one tree and it's loaded most years. Problem is the birds eat them before they get ripe enough for us. As soon as they start to turn color they gobble them up

Birds eat ours too. So do deer,coon,possums,ghogs,squirrels etc but we have enough for all. 15 trees left.
