mulberry ripening!

The mulberry fruits in the pot have started to ripe!

I was hesitant to transfer the cutting since it have a lot of fruits. I'm worried that the transfer will cause some transplant shock and all the fruit will drop. I will transplant them to the ground once the fruit are plucked!

Those are precious mulberries I'm waiting eagerly to pluck!

  6. The fruit looks yummy. I've never tried it. You're probably right to wait to transplant after the fruit ripens. There's no reason to risk loosing it.

  8. Yummy mulberries! Around here, mulberry trees are grown for their leaves- to feed the silkworms.

  10. I love mulberries. We have some wild that we always pick every summer. Recently the city has cut them back and last year, we hardly had any. I always mix them with apples and make a pie. When my father was a boy, he used to raise silkworms and did use the leaves to feed them. Then, at the end of the season, they would steam the vines, strip off the outer bark for farmers to use as twine, and use the white inner part of the vines to weave into baskets.
