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.
Yes, we have one on the big lawn, Pam. It's 13 years old and fruits
rather well now. It had 3 or 4 fruits the first year after it was
planted, when it was only 3 or 4 feet tall. They are such beautiful
trees and I read recently of a dwarf variety but I think that's only
available in USA at present.
