MARANTHA!! Even so, come LORD JESUS!!!
I have been wanting Mulberries, in fact I bought 2 trees to plant.

I was in the chicken pen this morning after I let the chickens out and looking in the back at all the blackberries, I noticed there were FOUR mulberry trees!! Not huge, but about 3 - 5 inches in diameter>>>>big enough to bare mulberries!!

WOW!

I LOVE mulberries!! They are already making berries!>>>>>YUM!!

This too shall pass.
We have a mulberry tree on our place that makes berries, at least once in a while. I can't reach most of them, though, as it's too tall.

Day by day
We have one mulberry tree we put in that we bought I think from Stark Bros. some years back. It's hard for us to reach most of the berries without a ladder, and the birds beat us to them most of the time. We put it in mostly for the wildlife, anyhow. Those berries are wonderful, though!

Don’t let the Piss Ants get you down…
You remind me of something I need to do!

I have couple of mulberry trees in a woodland garden behind the house... I need to trim them to a central runner and clear around them a bit for more light.

When I was a kid on Long Island we had a mulberry volunteer on the side of our house. It grew quickly and bore scad of berries. The birds used to gorge.

That’s why I planted the two on back, for wildlife forage, although they haven’t produced any berries yet.

It seems I've read you harvest them by laying a sheet on the ground and shaking the heck out if the tree/bush...

My tree is probably too big for me to be able to shake it. It's in the fence row between our place and the cow pasture, and has enough competition from other trees that it's pretty much grown straight up. I'd like to plant a couple and keep them short....

The young leaves are full of protein and can be cooked like spinach.
I can testify that they are edible. My wife cooked some leaves in our crockpot for 12 hours. They were still a bit chewy, yet perfectly edible. A zero maintenance perennial yielding 22% protein (dry weight) is a significant survival resource.
