Illinois here, birds crap mulberry trees out everywhere 😂. I have one in a tree line that makes such a mess of dropped berries that I built a chicken coop/pen underneath it for obvious reasons. It’s like girls gone wild in that pen when the berries start dropping in there-those hens lose their minds and act a fool 😂

Not to be a jerk-be very cautious with having mulberry over chicken coop! -- as attracting wild birds above your coop risks H5N1.

@macylouwho1187 2 месяца назад

@@buds8423 there’s really no avoiding it in our location whatsoever. Our yard is an absolute MASS of every kind of bird this area hosts. It’s basically a wildlife refuge at this point. We have water features everywhere, ample feeding because I planted fruiting trees and bushes when we moved here 20 years ago. There’s food everywhere for birds. We see every type of wild animal here there is in the area due to how I have things set up. It’s common to see foxes. Groundhogs, deer, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, coyotes, snakes, bunnies, lizards etc etc the list goes on. Frogs in the decorative ponds swimming amongst the fish. We have probably close to a hundred mature towering trees around our house. And surrounded by stands of trees or tree lines around the outskirts. There’s no getting out of it here. The only thing that I could do to protect the chickens was put up chickenwire and utility mesh on every side of the chicken pen including the whole bottom has buried chicken wire across the whole thing. Otherwise the foxes/coyotes/raccoons/etc predators would dig under and get them. So far-so good, we’re going on four years of keeping them and they seem quite healthy and happy. My husband is basically a chicken dad, he spoils them ridiculously 😂. He goes in and they crowd around him like he’s a rock star. He can’t be in the pen without hens up on his shoulders or back while bent over working 😂. And they have whole absolutely ridiculous conversations in “chicken” because he makes their noises back at them 😂

As a lifelong Florida kid… I’ll never forget going to a friends house & she had them SO HUGE u could actually CRAWL inside of it like a massive canopy (reminds me of those circular clothing racks we use to hide in as kids at Walmart) It was a sleepover; everyone had moved into the house… her mom noticed I was missing…she was looking for me everywhere & started to panic until her dog showed her where I was… I had been held up under there for God knows how long just SHOVING mulberry’s into my mouth. She walked in to see my completely stained black mouth + fingers like 👁️👄👁️

@user-ol4ib4ce5s 2 месяца назад

In Northern California, 45 years ago, I accidentally planted a fruiting black mulberry tree in my compost pile. Since I love mulberries, I let it grow, not thinking about how much space it would take up. Today it is about 50 feet tall and base about 4 feet in diameter and the canopy takes up my whole backyard, and we pay a tree trimmer over $2000 to trim it back from going past the fence into the neighbor’s yards! Since the pruning last year, it encouraged new growth and multiplied the berry production and with the extra rain this spring I have had to rake the yard 4 times over the month of May and I still have some dropping…the mess is incredible, from the time the tree blooms in April to June, there is bud or berry mess and in fall, the leaves blanket the ground about 2-3 inches deep before clearing. The plus is it is the most beautifully shaped tree and shade keeps the yard and house cool through the hottest of days. Just be aware of what you are planting and its potential! Another plus is the wildlife it feeds, both birds and squirrels and mulberries are one of the highest in antioxidants and reservatrol.

@user-ol4ib4ce5s 2 месяца назад

In addition, the berries don’t store well, so they must be used quickly. I combine them with blackberries for a wonderful balanced jelly. I have some juice stored in the refrigerator that may become wine…lol.

My neighbor has one that is probably 20 years old. They never pick any of the berries, so I did on the limbs that were either near or crossed over my fence. I picked enough to make 7 jelly jars full, and I used "raw monk fruit" instead of sugar to sweeten the jam. OMG oodness it was amazing. We went through every jar in less than 2 months.

100% agree. one of the ONLY few vids on my channel at this time, and I harvest Thai Dwarf Mulberries in it. It is by far my kids favorite tree in the garden since it produces in an overbearing fashion, especially after a hard pruning. I think I have 7 different mulberries I planted in my food forest. Long story short: we love them. They are easy to grow, fast growing, and the fruit actually tastes good. Better than a blackberry or a raspberry in my opinion.

I live in Iowa Zone 5 and these are all over in nature. Reason being is you have one and suddenly you have a thousand in your fences, or growing anywhere a bird can perch upon. I love them, but they get out of hand. They fruit really early. You don’t have to wait the usual 5-6 years like apples or peaches. They will provide you with bountiful fruit. My property alone has the black mulberry and the white.

I just started a garden for the first time this year while I’m my mom’s caregiver and staying with her for that reason, and we have a red mulberry tree that reaches close to where I set up my garden! So many berries every year and nobody’s ever pruned them or taken care of it at all, although that’s changed this year since I took up gardening. I just got a whole freezer ziploc bag full yesterday and if I had gotten all the ones that fell on the ground already, I’d probably have another 4 of those bags lol.

@@baneverything5580that’s a great idea and a great tip

@baneverything5580 2 месяца назад

The reason I started with 4 Dwarf Everbearing in Louisiana is to hopefully help keep birds from getting all the figs and if I can force mulberry production around the main ripening time for figs it will be great. I got 5 trees but broke one removing them from the package and couldn`t save it. So I`m already rooting cuttings from the tiny trees I planted this year in March because they`re growing so fast and have so many side branches. They started out at 5 inches tall and some are 3 feet tall already. I`ve topped a couple to create a bush right away. My trees were shipped from Florida.

Someone climbs up the tree and shakes it or its branches and we below have cover sheets open waiting for the fruits to fall. It's such a fun experience. Usually, trees are some 100+ years old and you get to eat mulberries in their most bio-organic forms. You got to eat them fresh or by evening they will start getting fermented. A lot of people make moonshine with them that can get you drunk haha!

MULBERRY TREES grow just fine in Southern Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 Some are huge old trees, and plenty of fruit grows on such a tree. 🌳 Nobody would ever consider pruning them, to keep them tiny. They stay outside, planted in the ground.

pH is not tested w fancy equipment. A simple 1 or 2 point calibration wet bulb one costs less than a good stock pot. Also, pH strips are very accurate when choosing ones that test precisely and accurately in the range and conditions you are working in. You just have to follow directions and practice with them. I’ve made solutions to bath and keep functional brain tissue with both hand held meters and the right collection of strips.

Don’t waste your time buying all the upgrades. All you have to do is take parchment paper running under the water crumb it up really good then shake it off and put it in your trays and then pour your fruit on top of it. They’ll peel off like there’s no tomorrow Easy Peezy God bless you

@candicewalker6588 2 месяца назад

Great video; thank you! Mulberries are a delicious fruit, so it sounds like an excellent addition to the garden. I’ve never used a dehydrator, but I’m wondering if cooking spray would help with the parchment? Thanks again! I enjoy your channel!

Question: I have seen on Deep South Homestead. Danny has a big one of these. His gr house is pretty far from that tree. And he gets roots of it popping up in his gr house beds. I have a friend nearby. And they have come over and grown way into her yard from the neighbors yard. Is this an issue with Mulberries? It’s a big reason I haven’t grown them . Just wondering your take on this .

@HomegrownFloridaZ9a 2 месяца назад

Yes they can be. That’s why I picked a dwarf variety because the root system stays smaller. The bigger varieties will have that same problem that you mentioned.

You've got me curious to try this in a large pot as a patio tree i just trim to keep small..🤔. I've been wary of mulberries because my grandpa always complained about them making a mess and my neighbor has one she just lets go wild (and does make a mess all over the sidewalk) but i love blackberries and raspberries so much i may want to try adding a mulberry. perhaps i should see if my neighbor would be ok if i harvested from her tree she ignores

@HomegrownFloridaZ9a 2 месяца назад

I stopped and asked my neighbors if I can harvest from their trees all the time. If you do end up going the route of getting one for a container, make sure to get a dwarf variety.
