My tree is ready! The only unfortunate thing is that they are white. In my opinion, the white are not as flavorful as the black. My neighbor has the black mulberries. Thankfully, I am allowed to help myself from their tree, too.
I love mulberries! Any time I see one that I can walk up to (like on public land or at my dads house) I just start chowing down xD Wind up with a purple mouth and fingers haha
I have never seen a mulberry tree/bush, although it does grow here. I only know it from the monkey and weasel shenanigans. Say, I wonder if your neighbour would allow you to take a cutting from their tree. That would be fun to do and if you were successful, the tree would mean so much more to you because of your work.
I am certain they wouldn't mind. I read something about scarring and wrapping a branch to make it grow roots. Are you familiar with that? There is a man who lives along my daily drive, that seems to have done that. He planted some maple "trees" in front of his house that were obviously branches of a larger tree. If you want, I'll look into the laws and send you either a cutting or some seeds. Again, I think the purple/black is tastier, but the white berries are larger. It is just a matter of sweeter or more mellow.
