Who has a mulberry tree? I think Sacha does.
I have one in a pot, about 3 feet high, aobut 10 years old.
3 years ago it had 3 fruit. I put it in a bigger pot, no fruit the
last 2 years. This year it has at least 8. I hope the birds don't get
them. I love mulberries. When I could drive I used to go round to
gardens which I knew had mulberries at ripe-fruit time but can't do
that now and the 2 I knew of in my town have gone, sadly.


I have had a mulberry tree for the last twenty-four years. It's not in a
pot but is planted in my front garden in Reading. It's pretty big now
and usually has masses of fruit, although this year most of the flowers
fell off before they were fertilised.
