I grow mulberry trees mostly to keep the birds out of my blueberries as they would rather eat them than the blueberries but dang those things are good..........

The buds on my Russian mulberry (Morus Alba) trees were just starting to swell and it snowed 6 inches today. Color me green...

I love mulberries! But don't harbor any thoughts of hanging clothes out to dry if there's one within a mile of your place. Let's just say that there's a reason my Mom's sheets have purple polka dots.....Bryant...Franklin County, VA...Zone 7a. Wish List: a 32 hour day....more sleepComment

Wills, those look delish. I was gifted a rooted mulberry cutting this year and it has really taked off big time. I wish my fig trees would grow so well.Jerry, Canyon Lake TX 8bComment

They do grow fast. Those things and I are in a constant war as it wants to be a tree and I insist it will be a bush.Cutting sales will start Tuesday Nov 1 at 9:00 easternComment

Art,
Yep it will work just fine. After harvest you prune them and then all the new growth will have fruit the next spring. It is a good way to keep them small.Cutting sales will start Tuesday Nov 1 at 9:00 easternComment

Does it really work as a decoy? i am considering getting some yaupon holly to use as a hedge and for the honeybees. i was concerned about the holly berries attracting more birds to my yard than before, and eating my other crops. i think they may prefer figs and blueberries over holly. So, decoy or invitation ???Comment

Msfiglake,
Your resident birds are always there so you are not drawing in new birds. As long as they ripen at the same time it does work. It is just a matter of which they prefer and in this case they prefer the mulberries over the BB and the mulberries ripen in the exact same window as the BB.Cutting sales will start Tuesday Nov 1 at 9:00 easternComment
