You’d have more “heat” and light if you cut them shade trees down, thus growing your stacks even more gooder! Really nice stacks pic rebelduckman
Yea probably so. It’s really just one that’s shading it on one end. Wife don’t want me to cut down the mulberry though
And great smoker wood.....nudge nudge.... Brenndy and I seem to be the right kind of influencers today....
Our neighbor’s kids eat them soon as they turn. Green mulberries can upset the gut, from what I hear....
I ate 'em when I was real young, 'til one day my brother dropped one in a glass of water. A hundred little white worms about 1/8" long floated to the surface , so I couldn't eat any more after that. Best I remember, they tasted like blackberries. They turn deep purple. Don't throw any in the house (like I did before I knew better!)
Yup...tasty lil buggers...kinda like a milder version of raspberry. We made a Mulberry cobbler with 'em a few years back...turned out pretty good. One of the most popular uses for Mulberrys is wine...I've never had that though. Most of them get a dark red, almost black when ripe, but my grandparents had a white one...berries were green and then turned white when ripe...those were even milder, but sweeter than the red ones. We have a tree that has both on it now! Well, it did, they just came ripe the last 2 weeks...pretty well over with now. Good thing too...red seedy bird poo everywhere! And the coons! They love 'em too...seedy piles of coon poo all over the yard when I mowed this AM!
If you’re into fishing, Mulberry trees near water that hold carp are great spots to fish for them. Carp love mulberries.
Mulberrys are unique trees, there are males and females. The female trees hold the berries, the males produce no berries. We have a male mulberry in our backyard....never gets berries. However there is a huge female mulberrys out the street and it gets loaded!!
I have a white mulberry tree on my property, I hear they are really good but I'd never know it because every dang squirrel & bird in the neighborhood was in that tree eating them all for about 3-4 weeks straight. Wish I got a little more sun out back but I back to a decent patch of woods and have a heavy heavy canopy. I've got one decent spot that gets a few hours sunlight later in the day and luckily it's facing the predominant wind direction so that's where I've been focusing on stacking my wood facing that direction and in the sun!
Methinks perhaps the rebel is not interested in more heat and light!!!! Shade is no doubt very welcome down there.
Mulberries are favorites with many birds and animals. Deer, coon, possum, etc. All sort of birds. Warning: Never park your car near a mulberry tree when berries are ripe. The birds will repaint your car.
