[Ibringthetruth1]

no one sells these in the US.

blah! unripe mulberries!

[ministercreek]

Mulberries are my favourite wild fruit

[royalconcrete1]

help! there is something wron with my favorite most delicious mullberry tree! The fruit is retarted. It is fat but doesnt turn black. I suspect not enough male pollenation, but do you know? Each little kernal of the fruit is bloated and hard, and doesnt turn.  Mississippi. usa. It has affected a few of the other trees a little, and some not at all...

i thought mulberrys were a subtropical tree but it seems you can grow them in your climate. but your fruit does not seem as big as ours.

[chalechoole]

You are lucky this tree is a small one; mulberry trees can grow really tall and thats when you guys will need to actually hold on to the tarp while the person on the tree is telling you which branch he is going to shake. But i have to thank you for posting this, it has brought some very good old memories back. :)

We've just moved into a house with a huge mulberry tree. They are less common in the UK and our tree has a protection order on it. We weren't sure how to harvest them so your video has been really helpful. Just looking forward to eating them now!

104 sounds like rain

whenever me and my dad tried that trick we always got bag worms in the berries lol

[sublimecoyote]

Mulberries dont actully ripen off the tree when u pick them and they arent fully ripe waiting a few days wont make any difference

[damocsell]

@sublimecoyote I thought that also but noticed that they did ripen when in the bowl with other ripe ones.

I know I should keep my mouth shut. But dang it, the old ways are better. Give me two good kids, three bowls and a couple of ladders and I'll fill em with ripe berries faster by hand picking.

Do I smell a contest???

[dustyloup]

the problem is that all of the berries will end up in the pickers' tummies, not in the bucket!

[ZoeyMacaroni]

How do you get rid of the little white flies living on them? They taste like blue berries when fully ripe.

[SpuffiedGirlie90]

Yeah i have that same kind of tree and they are white when they first start out then get progressively darker. They're bitter when not completely ripe but I still like them. I wouldn't just discard them. But I guess you did have ton. lol

[MidwestPermaculture]

The white mulberry trees I've seen all the berries are ALL white. Besides I suspect if you had tasted some of the white berries you would agree that they aren't ripe!

[g00521280]

thats a white mulberry tree and those white ones ARE ripe... the fruits are SUPPOSED to be different colors on WHITE MULBERRY trees

[PQRLOVE]

I live near by. I know the tree. It is a standard black. Yes there are whites but not in this area. I remember being in Muskegon, MI and seeing and enjoying the whites. No doubt of it, whites are bigger and more lush than blacks with a higher sugar content. However, the blacks are better for commercial use. The fruit is firmer and the slight touch of tartness gives them an extra edge. Both are good. This is the heart of the black mulberry area. Jungs sells IL mulberry trees for example

[mypenisandballs]

not all varieties of white mulberry are different colors some varietes when fully ripe are still white such as the shahtoot

[sublimecoyote]

@g00521280 this tree is  black english the white shahtoot berries are a little longer and thinner

[mypenisandballs]

you could make jam or pie or put them with ice cream blend them in drinks etc anything that you can use berries with. i prefer them fresh but have them dried and there still good.
