This is for all those northern hemisphere people who are getting
grumpy because the frost is coming (or arrived already) and their
tomatoes are still green. It is for those not looking forward to
being indoors reading seed catalogs for the next 5 months worrying
about fuel bills. It features blossoms, new life and includes some
nubile ladies and a
hairy young male wriggling naked in the clover as our many of our
forebears were wont to do at this time of year.

Do the mulberries have a make and model? I have a fairly new white
mulberry tree which is just bursting leaf buds and my neighbour has a
black mulberry with giant black fruit overhanging my fence (but not
for long when I am out there) I am just hoping that mine is a late
season bearer and the neighbours is early season if yours turns out
to be mid season I may have to get another one.

I am in W.A. for clarity


Standard black mulberry AFAIK, very vigorous they have grown from cutting
25cm high to small trees 3m high in 3 years.

Thanks for that info. I can only assume that as we have had a fairly mild
winter and an early spring, which caught me napping, that the neighbours
tree is a little more advanced this year than your.

Still crossing my fingers for the white mulberry to be a late bearer.
