Anyone here got a mulberry tree? My uncle had one and we went over each year to collect the windfalls. The trees take a long time to fruit apparently but when they do, it's delicious - like blackberry and raspberry but a much stronger flavour. Stew lightly and serve with ice cream yum

We have one in the front garden, pollarded it last year. Tough old things.
