We have a Red Mulberry tree in our backyard and it has ripened. Today was the third day of berry picking. I did some picking alone this time. The Sibs helped with the earlier work.
For those of you who don't know what a Mulberry is, I will try to explain. Red Mulberries look similar to Blackberries. They are sweet with their own very light flavor. They grow on trees as opposed to bushes or canes. Our tree has so far required little to no care aside from pruning. In fact we didn't even plant it. Score one for bird poop.
When picking, you do have to be on watch for bird poop on leaves and falling from above. LB1 hates that tree because he keeps getting poop in his hair as he works in the garden. I don't mind. So far, we have frozen about six cups worth of berries for later. Below are some pictures.
