The university in my town has many white mulberry trees, and they are ripening. Sadly they are super old and many of them their lowest branches are far out of my reach, but I am not beyond foraging of the ground. And neither is Furiosa...
She is actually eating grass there, but she had been foraging for berries.
Get a tarp and a rope. Lay the tarp beneath the tree. Throw a rope over a branch. Shake. Enjoy!
Nice! I'd be jamming and canning that. I can't wait until the wild black raspberries ripen near me.
I don't think I've ever had a mulberry before, actually. I learned recently that my local college has wild blackberries and raspberries around it though and I am desperate to go have a peek. Enjoy your harvest!!
Did she also forage some sticks for c/stickenthusiasts? !stick@sh.itjust.works
Mulberries are the best. I used to eat so many I'd get sick.
So delicious
Growing up a neighbor had a weeping mulberry tree. Its the most awesome thing. Was a little getaway forts for us kids and the berries were easy to get. We could swing on the branches. The lady let us not only infest her tree but use her big side yard to play as long as we stayed out of the garden. She also had a lassie type collie that could shake your hand (that was huge at that time). Later I was told the weeping mulberry is grown upside down to get the effect and then at some point planted in the ground.
