Thanks, Jo Ann. Some people love the fruiting Mulberry trees and some people hate them. Nurseries were pushing fruitless Mulberry trees for a long time. But the fruited ones are coming back into favor. The fruit is messy if it falls onto patios or walkways, etc. Just like any fruit. But this fruit is dark purple and really can stain. Like blackberries. That tree is perfectly located and I'm happy about that because it's waaay to big to move now.
