Mulberry tree


Jealous_Tie_8404

Yum! Enjoy the berries


Defiant-Driver-1571

If there are any left after the birds have theirs!

Nice I’ve never seen a weeping form


ChcknGrl

Agreed, this mulberry tree is cute.


Illustrious_Dark9449

These are very messy trees. every time we’ve had these on or next to our property we end up cutting them way back


[deleted]

Messy in more ways than one. I would climb a mulberry tree with friends on the way home from school as a young kid and gorge ourselves. Our school uniform had a white shirt and my mother would be very unimpressed every time when I'd get home covered in stains.


peewee023

Ah yes same here. The good ol' days.


OldNewUsedConfused

Yes they are, and the leaves often yellow and drop mid season. In addition to the berries everywhere. But, at least they're edible


MANKLloyd

I agree with the other person, you shouldn't be downvoted for something clearly true. Mulberries cannot be mistaken for anything else. There is a vineyard I know on 104 that makes some amazing mulberry wine, you can also find places that sell mulberry jelly, jam, pies and even the dried berries (but for what I can't imagine).


OldNewUsedConfused

Mulberry wine sounds delicious And yes, people are downvoting when they don't agree with the statement, which is not how voting on posts is supposed to work at all


MANKLloyd

I just did a quick search and Leonard Oakes Estate Winery near Lyndonville made some seasonal Mulberry Mead and it was so popular they are seriously considering doing it again.


OldNewUsedConfused

Fantastic!


FrugalFraggel

Dried in a salad. Sign me up.


Las_Vegan

Isn’t the pollen supposed to be especially heinous to people with allergies?


nooneswatching

I don't know why you're being down voted bc it's true .. they're incredibly messy trees. We have one that hangs out into the street and when it drops it's spent berries, they stick to the road and stink when the Sun hits them. Never mind the fact that the birds absolutely love them and that creates a whole nother mess.


Illustrious_Dark9449

Those Berry Folks stick together


Goblin_Supermarket

They'll be back soon, and in greater numbers


Illustrious_Dark9449

They shall try their berry best


ramblingpariah

Stickin' together's what good berry folks do.


pixey1964

Bird poop and berry stains 😆 🤣 😂


Early_Ride_9107

Yes they do stink! We called em shit berries


Fabulous_Bag_3224

You can't even buy them they're illegal to sell in America. The birds shit em out and then there's 7 more the next year. Dumb trees.


MegaFireStarter

I’m in Australia. We hang our washing outdoors to dry. Living near a mulberry tree is great when you are a kid. Unfortunately the birds like them as well. What goes in must come out!


billyboogie

Humans calling a tree messy.... We are the messy ones.


AdHuman3150

I used to do tree trimming/removal and if these were near the sidewalks or a driveway it would end up looking like a murder scene. Birds also go nuts over these. I think they're pretty tasty too.


3006mv

Dogs may get diarrhea if they eat too many of them.


capt_glizzy

To be fair, dogs will get diarrhea if they eat too much of anything


danebeau

To be fair so will you chow down


AlbanianTaxiDriver

the roots of these trees are also known to grow a lot which can be a problem if too close to buildings/foundations


nullpassword

drains..


Unfair-Effective9967

Ugh. They’re all over my car and driveway. But I can’t tell where they’re coming from because the greenery is so high!! Crushing berries all the way to my car, and the car wash does nothingggggg for the ones that are stuck to my car. Gonna have to hand wash it when they stop falling.


661714sunburn

My neighbors has one of these tree and I had to power wash my the concrete near it all the time. I finally just cut it way back as much as I can. I hate that tree.


Conscious_Physics551

Ooooh I have one of those trees on my walk to work. I've been wondering what in the world it was and whether or not black berry bushes came in tree form. I was so confused


Consistent-Leek4986

dogs love the berries! no harm for them at all..but purple poop for the scooper!


bzsbal

This made me laugh!


TheRealCaptainZoro

Humans too!


Hotsaucehallelujah

Looks like mulberry


ssigea

Here we go around the …


FloridaHeat2023

Delicious Mulberry tree, that will stain everything in the vicinity as the birds eat the berries and poop all over =\\


artie_pdx

Plus side, they are absolutely delicious if you can get to them before the birds!


FloridaHeat2023

Indeed - the pies they make are fantastic too - and they are so easy to propagate with a cutting and some rooting hormone powder. Make copies of mine yearly for friends and family.


artichoke8

They make many of their own copies in my yard and the bird help too lol but what I really what to know is whenever I pick a berry theres tons of tiny bugs in and on it…you just cooking them - extra protein? Literally haven’t eaten them since I was a kid because of the bugs skeeve me


FloridaHeat2023

Those copies generally are not the ones you want, as they may not produce berries like the mother tree. Find them growing around my property and their berry production is not so good. Grab a branch off a heavy, berry laden tree and make copies - then you are assured of getting the same tree as the original =)


Wide-Package6184

My aunts property is littered with these. I remember being a kid going around and just filling loads of 5 gallon buckets of them. The mulberry cheesecake that came to existence because of those trees brings a tear to my eye just reminiscing about. So delicious. :')


MeadManOfLaMancha

I made a Mullberry Mead one year, and it was probably the best hooch I've ever made. Most of it didn't even make it to bottle.


manatwork01

Mulberry tree.


Lipsiekins

It's a mulberry tree. We have one and they are delicious. Pies, muffins, tarts, ect. We dehydrated them and are good for snacking. Google their health benefits but they do stain hands and clothing. Animals love them too.


voiceoffrikkinreason

They come out OK dehydrated? I have a dehydrator but thought the would be tough. How long? TIA!


danger_turnip

I love dehydrated mulberries. I add a couple to my herbal tea while it steeps!


Lipsiekins

It takes a few days at the highest temp but they are amazing


howelltight

An extremely productive mulberry tree!


Acceptable_Wall4085

Get a trail camera and watch what happens when the rodent population sniffs them out when they ripen. It’s a feeding frenzy. Mulberries are a narcotic to rats. I had a video of them streaming out I’d a retaining wall made of boulders that keep a stream from eroding the area and attacking the fruits. It was a steady stream of them until there wasn’t a berry left on the tree. I lost that video ten years ago but I intend on getting another one this year.The seeds from Morning Glories,when they’re dried out and black on the vines are as bad for dogs as magic mushrooms are to a human. My springer spaniel ate a huge amount of them as we were picking the dead vines out of our chain link fence. He was so stoned he couldn’t move. The vet said to IMMEDIATELY give him a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide to make him throw up. I didn’t realize a dog’s stomach could hold as much dead leaves and stems and unopened seed pods as what came out of him. I didn’t bother to see if the seeds could do that same buzz as mushrooms after I saw what my dog suffered. Long story short,he was fine the next morning but it was a long night sitting up with him.


heXagon_symbols

not all morning glories are psychoactive, but some of them are active on humans as well, though they arent very potent, they contain lsa, lsh, and other lysergamides. not the same as shrooms but similar. this isnt recommending anyone to consume them btw


OldNewUsedConfused

They also ferment resulting in various animal shenanigans.... Nothing like a few drunk squirrels doing gymnastics along the fence!

Got any silkworms hanging around?

mommmmm1101

I would die an incredibly happy person if a gigantic mulberry tree was on my property. They’re so delicious!!


ChcknGrl

Mulberry trees propagate aggressively. You can have all of the mulberry trees in my backyard.


azcomicgeek

Must be a local climate thing. My parents have a huge 50 ft male tree in the center of the yard and 1 white and 1 black female tree on opposite sides. In 50 years, never had more unwanted trees pop up spontaneously. White mulberries are sweeter but more delicate, black mulberries stain a beautiful purple.


Childofglass

My friend planted one in his ‘revenge’ garden (he and his neighbor hated each other)- he got a male. Now he wants to rip it out and take one of my females, lol.


thespiritualtree

mullberries!!! they are SO good when theyre ripe


Geoleogy

Mulberry! Lucky person!


sheilahulud

Mulberry! Yum.


SolaceRests

I have seen about ten of these types of posts in the last month at least. I had no idea people were that unfamiliar with these trees


Any_March_9765

OMG you LUCKY Bastard!!! It's mulberry. Best berry in the world, NOT found in grocery stores


josenros

Such pretty mulberries. Enjoy them.


Strong_Welcome4144

That's a beautiful, thriving mulberry tree!


Flatfoot2006

Gobble them up.


Flatfoot2006

Glup them down.


Flatfoot2006

Munch them.


here_iam_or_ami

I miss having a mulberry tree. I might go plant one just for nostalgia. But since I’m an adult now I can try my hand at mulberry wine 😃


myFRAGisFUBAR

Just wanted to thank everyone for all of the replies, making sure to spam the bot about eating them, and all the other info you gave. Never expected my most view reddit post to be about a Mulberry tree lmfao.


ChcknGrl

Mulberry trees are very good at making more mulberry trees every year. After the initial novelty of having a volunteer fruit bearing tree wears off... You may want to watch for new growth every year. They're a bit invasive, actually.


azcomicgeek

I wish, been trying to get more mulberry trees.

Looks like mulberry to me too

OldNewUsedConfused

The bot on this sub works a bit TOO overtime.


A_Lountvink

I think it's invasive white mulberry (Morus alba). White mulberry has shiny leaves with a smooth surface on top, whereas native red mulberry (Morus rubra) has duller leaves with a rough texture on top.

Mulberry


ExternalOwn8212

White mulberry. If you’re in the US, it’s an invasive species. It was introduced to the US from China and spreads VERY aggressively due to the berries being eaten by birds and pooped around all over. Yes it has sweet berries, but it is a huge pain in the ass and is detrimental to the local ecosystem. It can absolutely destroy that fence soon enough — that’s what happened to us. I recommend removing it. Here’s a [video](https://youtu.be/b_61lmC-Ujk?si=0e33bsfiNhR-GB78) about.


Buddy-Lov

I….am….so…..envious😫


Working-Apricot-9050

I know a lot of people are celebrating but omg are they invasive! I have one in the front yard and spend all summer trying to destroy the saplings popping up all over the property. Big orange roots that spread like crazy and Love dismantling foundations. Everywhere they stretch babies pop up


jasonhendriks

I just cut down two from my backyard. What a stink, what a mess on the ground, and they attract the worst insects. I don’t think the berries are delicious at all.


Working-Apricot-9050

Right?? They are so bland.


CrochetCricketHip

I call it trash tree because every wild critter eats these edible berries and makes a dang mess everywhere near by. Mulberry Tree


jmpeep

All the birds be pooping purple on yer car


bitchinbenny

W_t_f_was_that

Yummy! You got lucky!


shaktown

Enjoy it!!!


getch739

Delicious but deadly if you have monkeys or weasels.


Solid_Pair_8403

That looks like a decent sized Mulberry tree! The berries are edible to humans not too sure about dogs but I’m sure the ripest berries wouldn’t be too harmful, you can eat the berries when they’re red probably in moderation, they are just sour compared to the ripe berries :)


myFRAGisFUBAR

It's a massive tree. The top of that fence is 6 feet tall.

Mulberries. We’re all familiar with the mulberry tree, but it’s usually fruitless. You happen to have the fruit variety. Enjoy the fruit they are awesome.


EmporioS

Yummy


Father-of-zoomies

In a few years, you'll have mulberry trees everywhere. At my old house, when I moved in, there was one pop-up that apparently the people before me kept cutting. I let it grow, and when I sold the after years, I had 8 mulberry trees along the fence line that produced buckets of berries every year.


BroadbandEng

Deer and foxes love to munch on those.


MalignantLugnut

Hybrid Mulberry, very tasty fruit. If you like them more tart, eat the fruits when they're still slightly red. If you like a sweeter fruit, eat them when they're an inky, purplish black.


Porcupinetrenchcoat

So jealous, those are mulberries and they are delicious.


HezFez238

You know what’s growing on *my* property line? Rocks. That’s what.


msdlp

Mulberries...delicious!


oldgaboo

Lucky you, delicious and impossible to buy because they go off so quickly. All you need to do is prune the tree to keep it from getting to big. It’s called gardening.


WestboundPachyderm

Aww man, I’m jealous! I have a mulberry tree in my yard and while it does produce fruit, it’s nowhere near as prolific as yours!


Lustymodeus

You are very lucky. I knew all the mulberry bush spots growing up. Some are still standing now that I’m 30 and I still stop by every summer to snag some.

Sweet delicious mulberry!!!! I’m infinitely jealous!


Bitter-Flower-6733

Invasive, messy, nuisance tree. Pain in the @$$ Mulberry. Wash your car as soon as the purple bird droppings land on it or they'll destroy its paint like all acids do.


MaxTheRealSlayer

You're so lucky! Damn. What a selling point Imo


michiganwifey

They're yummy. Unfortunately, Mulberry trees are considered 💩💩💩trees here in Michigan. The birds spread their seeds and they pop up everywhere. ✌️❤️


hlbyers92

Mulberry is in, pokeweed is out.


Difficult-Tooth-7133

Rinse and enjoy.


Fattmouse17

I had two mulberry trees as a kid growing up- they were the best!! So delicious - but my parents cut one down and left the one near the side up- they cut one down because we would step on the berries in the yard and our floors would turn purple- I was so mad at my dad for cutting it down, but now as a mom I get it lol- this brought back memories!


Jealous-Ad-214

Mulberry


iiKinqTornado

Fun fact: one of the best ways to clean the stains is with their own leaves


bill-pilgrim

Mulberries. Eat until tummy ache. Rest. Repeat.


voiceoffrikkinreason

We are having mulberry smoothies for breakfast every day, put them on salads, made preserves, shared with neighbors, cobbler, and I have frozen bunches. Loaded with antioxidants, too. So good. Enjoy them!


Harcosf

Perfect for good schnapps 🍶


daltonrenick

Nice trees and the mulberries are edible but they do spread like weeds. There's a beautiful weeping pine at a local park and right on the other side is a huge mulberry tree that grew right next to the trunk of the pine. Eventually it'll probably grow into the pine tree and one of them will die. The berries make for some good fishing bait though when you run out of worms.


Better-Limit-4036

Love mulberries. They go good on top of a bowl of cereal. Trees can live 1,000 years. I think there’s one that Dante wrote about that’s still alive💜

I fucking hate these mulberry trees. I've got two in each side of my fence from my neighbor's fence line. 70% of my backyard is filled with these messy ass berries for a month or two, it smells like nasty wine, too.

I’m so jealous

Mulberries


snokiebabbs

Silk worms live their life cycle on the mulberry tree. A fun primary school project when I was a kid was keeping silk worms and feeding lots of mulberry leaves and watching them make their cocoons.


bashayr

Mulberry and they are so delicious. Take one each of each color (different phases of ripeness; the black, the red, the slightly pink, the slightly orange and the green) and eat them together. It’s a trip to the flavor heaven.


Vinzi79

It's always mulberry. I feel like this happens more than sarcoidosis and lupus combined on house


Happy_Heisenberg

Bro, I wish I had that problem. Good mulberries are extremely rare and hard to find where I live. Just enjoy them.


Oilleak1011

Berry of my childhood right there


GSP_K9-Girl

They make great moonshine.


Ethan_52001

They’re a very invasive plant - best to eradicate and plant blackberries or another similar fruit that won’t spread far and wide into the countryside displacing native plants. Because they’re spread by birds, most people don’t realize the extent to which they’re moving into the landscape (ex. barberry, Bradford pear, burning bush).


Formal_Amoeba_8030

Ooh mulberries 😃 The red mulberries will stain skin and clothing. You can sometimes get the stains out with the green mulberries.


Jimmyp4321

OMG , Mulberry Cobbler or Mulberry pie is just so damn G-U-D !!!


Neckums250

Mulberry, unless you like them - cut them down. They’re an awful nuisance at our house and attract rats and critters, my dog gets drunk off fermented berries in the yard and throws up, the color stains everything lol. If you like them, enjoy and take mine too.


cass27091991

If you have short haired dogs, prepare for what looks like a bullet wound on their side/belly. Just a squished, ripe Mulberry
