That's cool u got any recipes by any chance?

I love them too but they don't make a good jam, tart berries are better for that, never had Mulberry wine, sounds interesting

Wow never heard of mulberry wine 🤩

That's awesome!🙏🏼

@@shawns0762 The red/purple unripe ones are tart.

And if the branches fall on concrete walkway or deck porch that people frequent, you're going to have to power wash your shoes and everything it touches because they stain harder than tattoos.

My grandmother had a Mulberry tree In her front yard next to the road and I made a mistake one day parking my car under that mulberry, the next day my car was literally covered in thousands of mulberry stain bird Feces, I had to spend 4 hours scrubbing my car clean.But I so did love that mulberry tree.

That’s so true the tree almost don’t need any water, I planted white mulberry tree few years ago and forget about it and it grows like crazy on its own 😝

They drop berries everywhere, definitely a good tree to have if it's a good enough distance from your house.

But birds are good 👍🏼

Ummm that’s purple rain

@@cdybft9050Well said!

Rural yards still have them, but in the cookie-cutter suburbs people find them to be useless, even despise them... what a sad way to live. People are starting to wake up to the fact that they're eating fillers and pois ons, not food.

You only have to stop mowing your yard and birds will spread them.

That’s exactly how I was growing in my child hood is with purple hands 😝

​@@davidgray1515😄 I kept thinking I'd like a couple elder berry trees, the birds brought me some! I took it as," ask and it shall be given " 🕊

These things are absolutely awesome also they’re are also a huge nuisance especially if planted by the concrete or a road. I love collecting fruit trees, and recently went to take a branch from a local Pakistani Mulbury tree to graft onto my rootstock. The paved road by that tree was CAKED in almost an inch thick layer of mulburies and the whole place was fulll of flies.

My red mulberry is 4” diameter and 15 feet tall but have never seen fruits on it. What time of year do they produce ? Does my tree need to be older ?

@@georgiabigfoot you may need to trim it down to a manageable height, they do respond to being trimmed and should produce fruit the next season, mine gets fruit over the winter which ripens in Feb and March

@@bigdogbob845 thanks ! What sort of diameter is your trunk 5 feet off the ground ?

@@georgiabigfoot It is more of a shrub with several trunks no more than 2" diameter which are clustered together, I keep it below 8 ft in height, and it is 6 or 8 years old now.

@@bigdogbob845 ok makes sense this one has 6 trunks the largest being 4” in diameter. It’s underneath a 100 year old pecan and I was about to just cut it down but then learned it was a mulberry . I’ll prune them down to 6 feet

Thank you This is information I can actually use.

Cool

Great! I didn't know that. Now one of my mulberry trees is going to donate an appropriate limb.

Bruh they said that in the video

@@thecarnew5334 🤣 Who’s got time for a video

The Creator knows many things, eh?

Protein

those are part of the berry

I can believe it! Mulberries should never to planted over the roof of a car port. Take video of that for me and I'll mix it into the StoneAgeMan Video on the topic!!!

@@BiophiliaClips It will have to be toward the end of the week, I'm off on set again for another few days!

I didn't know they have male and female.

I have a few on my farm. Our county forester came out for some tree farm stuff. Showed him the biggest and oldest tree. He said he believes its over 400 years old the base of the trunk is bigger than 8ft around. It produces nice fruit. But there a tree about 40 years old. Less than a mile away from it. Its berry is way sweeter and its growing season is different. All but it there fruit gone by the first week in May. It still has fruit and white berries right now. I think maybe a different type or hybrid. There is a good bit of difference between the trees

Mine has never had the trunk trimmed, yet produces lots.

Those late frosts are killer on berries, we lost all our blueberries and boysenberries to one last year.

Too many people are blind to anything but their green paper god. Here, a line of tall pines was cut and removed. They were hurting nothing and no other changes were made to the baren lot. When they get the globe smoothed and paved, beware!, they get even more dangerous when they have nothing to destroy.

If you have some in your neighborhood ask the home owners if they have any young trees growing where birds have shit the seeds I have grape vibes and the birds will sit on the end of the rows and crap A tree grew one year so I transferred it to the yard and it turns out it’s a mulberry This was 25 years ago or so and it’s pretty big now

Ours only produces berries every other year.

Don't know where u are but here in the Midwest they're everywhere take a drive out in the country and u should be able to find them in about any fence row

Oh. I'll stop putting butter out for them. I thought they ate only butter.

fertilize it

its probably a male

Wait 7 years.

They are most likely male flowers. Usually Red mulberry trees are Dioecious, which means it’s either a male or a female tree but not both. It’s possible for them to be monoecious, which means it can have male and female flowers. Hope this helps.

Wait 7 years.

One commenter said they're related to Osage Orange and make good bows. So one of mine is going to donate a limb soon.

Can you simply pick the leaves off the tree and eat them or is there a certain way you have to prepare them?

@@smoowear I just pluck the leaves, wash them and steep them in boiling water to make a tea- I assume you can eat the leaves but don't until you research if you can. But drinking the tea is beneficial. I also pick a lot, let them dry and have them all winter long until June/July again.

@@jayebruney7569 thank you!

Those are probably Morus alba, an Eurasian species originally imported to try to raise silkworms. It *is* weedy.

They can be trimmed to be a large tree, or a bushy hedge, and is good firewood..

Nope. Not in California.

Last 2 years, I've had these teeny tiny worms inside the fruit. So dissapointing. I've always had such a good crop.

@@hoosierpioneer Could be fruit fly larvae. That's the only kind of insect issue I've seen on my mulberries. The plant, itself, never has pest issues.

​@@hoosierpioneer. Soak them in salty water.

So you can.
