The mulberry bush was in pot. It grew really well but didn’t produce much. Just a few sad berries
So a few months ago we planted it into the ground and boy has it made a difference
I call it my snack tree as I constantly snack on the ripe berries while working out side.
Even Ana now knows that we can eat the black berries
The two newer, white mulberries were planted into the ground at the same time and they have exploded with new growth
With a bit of luck they’ll have lots of white mulberries for me to snack on next year.
Your green hands never cease to amaze and impress. I bet your pumpkins would be ripe by now!
ReplyDeleteI didn’t grow any. I had too many last year so I didn’t bother
DeleteFresh mulberries are wonderful straight from the tree. Lucky Ana
ReplyDeleteShe’s definitely getting her education on where food comes from She’s learning very fast
DeleteI had a fruitless mulberry tree in the front yard for almost 30 yrs. before it was attacked by termites. It died and hubby cut it down but, it was a beautiful tree.

I’ve got a normal sized one out front that has never fruited. I’ve left it for that very reason. It’s another tree and it looks pretty
DeleteNever had mulberries, I should see if they grow here in Southern Ontario.
ReplyDeleteI’d say see the local nurseries they’ll know if you can
DeleteI don't think I've ever eaten a mulberry. They may not grow in Canada.
ReplyDeleteI had never until I grew them. They are not usually for sale in the supermarkets
DeleteOh you lucky thing. We had white ones (trees) on our street in Piraeus but the fruit though plentiful was either out of reach or squashed on the pavement. The coloured ones look so much more appetising.
ReplyDeleteThe black ones are very yummy. I hope the white ones are too. If I get a heap all ripening at the same time I can make them into a yummy dessert
