We almost looked you up last year on the way back from GTG in Michigan. We did meet Brandon Scott as we were heading home. We stopped in the area to visit the Ark and Creation Museum. Ran out of time.
We have been there as well. We should have checked in with RB and the other locals while we were there. Next time for sure...
It could be hedge... but it doesn’t look quite right for it...either way good wood...here are a few pictures of mulberry vs. hedge from my area.... Hedge Mulberry...
Your mulberry leaves look different??? This is from the sapling growing on the edge of our yard. It has all three leaf shapes.
I believe it's a pic of a white Mulberry. Imported from Asia and pretty invasive. It will readily hybridize with our native red Mulberry.
Yup we have a red in the yard...have another beside it that has both white and red berries on it...and some berries that are kinda in between...pink/light purple looking. The white berries have the size/shape of the reds though...the white mulberry that my grandparents had when I was a kid had smaller more delicate looking berries on it...used to climb that tree all the time to eat berries right from the tree. Its gone now...my brother cut it down and burnt it in his OWB...then built a garage on that spot. (which formerly had a chicken coop there...I think the mulberry grew out of a crack in the coop foundation, which must have happened many years ago as the tree was large when I was a kid) Ours will be ripe here soon, I need to get some pics of it...kinda hard to tell from pics that the branches are all attached to the same tree though...both trees (volunteers) are side by side
He has made bows from wood. But the ones that he made were from PVC pipes. But he can no longer make them because he lent out his jigs and never got them back.
When I lived in Iowa, we had a mulberry tree in our back yard. We would hang a tarp out to catch the berries. I would make jam out them.
