A view at our magnificent Mulberry tree on the border of our farm. When she produces fruit, it is unbelievable. She is simply gorgeous and we love her. Hope you enjoy and maybe you can tell me a little bit more here, too! Enjoy & thanks for watching!

don't hand pick those berries by hand . you make a big mess. The way you pick mulberries as you put a sheet underneath and shake the tree. well the branch in this case.
We had a mulberry tree that planted it's self. We would get mulberries each year. They make delicious pies. You don't have to remove the stem. The tree needs to be topped to help keep the fruit low. If you don't all of the mulberries will be too high to pick. Enjoy .
Lottie, there are deep purple like black berries and there are white mulberries. We had the dark ones.
What a magnificent old tree.
We had one as a child. I remember eating them as a child. We would be covered head to toe blue stain. What memories.
you can cut limbs off it (say 6 feet from the end of any limb)… soak them in a 55 gallon drum of water overnight… dig a hole with a post hole digger as deep as you can… try for 4 feet…. put the limb in the hole, make sure it's touching the bottom… back fill with dirt, washing in with water as you go… leave whatever sticks out… water it daily for a month… new tree.
I have several I planted that way… all fruited on the 3rd year… they grow like jack and the bean stalk. 🙂
hope you know that is poison ivy all over the trunk of your Mulberry tree.
Cool mulberry cobbler soak berries in big pail of water and all the little worms float to the top repeat about three time love mulberries got a tree of my own tfs
The vine growing up the tree is called a Virginia Creeper and it can eventually kill the tree it is growing on
borage is a great herb! attracts bees. protects tomatoes. check it out. thanks for all u taught me! if biscuits! yum!
get that vine off your mulberry tree. it looks like one we have here n upper mich that kills trees!
I spent my childhood in the top of a mulberry tree. ours produced every yr. It could have been planted but also a bird may of dropped seeds.
My understanding is that the white mulberry is the variety that was used in China to feed silkworm caterpillars until they made there cocoon to be unstrung for silk thread. Someone imported (stole) white mulberry seeds to start the trees in America,, then imported (stole) a few silkworms. Any white mulberry trees in America date to that period or are descended from those trees. Sorry I don't know what that date is.
We just bought a place back at the end of march and we have an old mulberry tree on it! So I hope you make a video for the jam cause our tree is loaded and I would love to lean how to make the jam!

we have mulberry trees that we did not plant, they just appeared everywhere in a few yrs time. those birds, well, they are the gardeners, when they leave a dropping, the seeds sprout. that's how we got all of ours, and we have had to cut some down because of the places they were dropped. the chickens and peacocks love them, we pick for them.
I lay a sheet or tarp under my trees and shake the branches. pick up the sheet and pore into bucket. Enjoy you videos.
We have Mulberry trees, and love them! The easiest way to harvest is to lay tarps, or old sheets, on the ground around all under the tree once you see some ripening. I like to use thin, old light colored sheets so the sun still gets to the grass beneath. The berries fall off when ripe, and a shake of the limbs will easily detach any of the hard-headed ones. Then, I just lift up the edges of the sheet and work the berries towards the middle, transfer to buckets (definitely plural), and lay out the sheet again. I never climb a ladder to get the berries. I get tons and tons this way for fresh eating and putting up, and the birds can have the top of the tree. Thanks for all you do to help share and educate! So happy to finally feel like I can contribute here, lol. 🙂
Did you get these harvested? 🙂
My mother grew up with these trees in Persia as they are very common there. .. Low and behold we have one on our new property too ! They are wonderful dried/ dehydrated . Tasty treat like raisins to use as a snack or in cereals.
hello thanku
there Mexican Indian trees
That Poplar tree must be quite … popular
Was hoping you could tell me more. I planted 3 seeds and one of them grew this year. I hope mine gets as big as yours someday. Only about 1 ft tall right now. Maybe you should seeds save and use the seeds as one of the contests you might have in the future.
They are indigenous to North America. They respond well
to heavy pruning. I'd cut it back and keep it pruned. Just eat the stem. It's entirely edible and even the leaves are edible. I'd avoid using a ladder. Not the safest thing. So much better to cut it down and start from scratch. We had a giant mulberry tree in our backyard and we cut it all the way down to a stump and I kid you not, it had fruiting branches the very next year. We kept it pruned and we worked the branches so they would be easily accessible for us. Wonderous tree. It's a gift from God himself
I love this fruit I have this on my backyard
Insanely big mulberry tree
This is the White Russian Mulberry producing juvenile white fruit, native American Mulls start out with juvenile red fruit. Fast-growing, yours took about 60 to 80 years to achieve that trunk size.
If today's tree was regrown from past coppice produced from stump shoots, organisms existing root system could be way older. Enjoy!
Do sell cuttings from it?
Ohhh me & my neighbors used to all have them already growing. The only problem is they were so old & task the high up ones just fell and mashed into the ground, a lot of slippery mess. But it was also the best for bird watching, not to mention plentiful free berries! They had to have been there from way back to be that large & old. I have no idea as I've never seen them growing wild, if they were there when the homes were built or brought in many years ago.
