Spring Mulberries

 If you want quick fruiting, fast growing trees, I highly recommend planting mulberries.  I started mine from seed and after one year I had a small harvest.  It has now been three years and I have more mulberries than I, and my neighbors can handle.

Spring is such a fun time with the mulberries fruiting.  I love to go out in the evening to pick berries for the next day’s breakfast and other recipes.  Plus the trees are so attractive year round.

One caution is that mulberry trees can be messy, so plant them where there’s little to no foot traffic.  Pick them wearing clothes that can get stained.

So far I’ve frozen berries for future use and made jam for the family and neighbors.  I’ve invited friends and neighbors to come over and pick berries whenever they want.  The benefits from two mulberry trees are beyond eating berries and move into the realm of creating community.

God bless,

Pam
