We have a black mulberry in the garden - I grew it from seed many years ago - it is so robust and grows well, the birds love the mulberrys. I pollard it and the May tree every 4 or 5 years to keep them in check and stimulate bushy growth.

Is the Mulberry tree the same as a Mulberry bush only bigger? My father had a bush and it cropped heavily every year with large lush sweet berries….that the bugs and wasps surprisingly left alone! Or maybe it was my Dad standing guard over them as they ripened. lol It was at least 90years old and we were sad to lose it when Dad died and the house was sold. We left an inventory of all the garden shrubs for the incoming people. Sadly they were property developers and put a huge decking with bifold doors across the back so we don’t know if the aged Mulberry Bush still survives.

There are lots of different varieties of mulberries but their form depends on how you grow them. You could create a bush by pruning - they grow fast, mine puts on at least 4 or 5 feet each year. If the birds would leave me any fruit I would make wine from them - it is delicious!

I suppose this is an any season phenomenon. Anyone else up at 1am last night with their iPhone? Tried using Sony and have to say results were lack lustre difficult to get settings right. Good old iPhone knew exactly what setting to use. Although the 2 sec exposure was too much of a challenge for hand holding on some photos.  Click here to comment on this image.
