Mullberries

Well I have eaten some Mullberry in my backyard. We have a red Mullberry tree and right now it is out of season (The fruit doesn't seem right) but late spring and early summer is a good time. The only thing is they are soft so they crush easily while picking, some fall and get on my shoes (not really a problem but my mom doesn't like purple tracks in the house), and the squirrels nibble them but leave them on the trees so I can't get the damaged ones.

Are those like Black berries?

They look pretty similar but they have different tastes. Very good though.

Hey Schmitty can you get a pic of the bush for me?

I dont have any mullberry bushes by me but here is a picture of it from google search.

It looks like a regular tree not a bush or anything.

I can probably get a pic today.

EDIT:

Here's my tree

Here's the fruit

There's nomore fruit on the tree though so that was on the ground.

I use to get frozen yogert with them in it. i alwats thought they were big black berries haha.

Good stuff. I make pie out of them but taking out stems is labor intensive and they need lemon to give them some tang. They tend to not have a ton of flavor and have no acidity at all. Have two people or more hold out a bedsheet (it will never be white again) or tarpor whatever and shake the branch above it. You will have to pick out the over and underripe but it is much faster than hand-picking off the tree. The average tree is huge enough that you can afford to lose a lot of them and not go hungry...now I'm hungry...
