Mulberries

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.

    1. I didn’t grow any. I had too many last year so I didn’t bother

  3. I 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.

    1. 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

  5. I don't think I've ever eaten a mulberry. They may not grow in Canada.

    1. I had never until I grew them. They are not usually for sale in the supermarkets

  6. Oh 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.

    1. The 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
