This mulberry bush produces a large quantity of pleasant tasting fruit. Most of the fruit is still unripe.The birds enjoy and are often visiting. The fruit is picked by placing a plastic sheet under the tree and shaking. I simply eat the fruit raw, and find it to be a pleasant desert. The juice of the berry readily stains and clothing can be permanently stained if care is not taken. The depicted tree was purchased from a nursery about five years ago.
