Wish I had pics of my entire tree... I climbed ladder & picked what I could, got up on roof to pick more...
This summer, I cut tree down... Used as fence posts...
The mulberries tasted fine to me... even if it was a chinese mulberry...
The birds weren't complaining about the taste either...
I can't tell if that wire is over the tree or to the side...
As empty as that yard is... I'd keep the tree until I found something else...
Even If I had to keep it pruned back into a shrub... I think it looks very nice as a shrub... A shrub form mulberry keeps the fruit where the home owner can reach...
As a kid, I used to climb the mulberry trees, to feast on all the fruit I could reach... This Spring, I had to be careful, the best ones let go with the least bit of disturbance... So, lean ladder against roof, instead of against tree.... And use step ladder... Stand on top step when necessary...
What I found interesting... the bloom was earlier than the red mulberry... the fruit ripened earlier...
