I'm now addicted to these delicious berries that grow rampant in my front yard. I've discovered a fairly successful way of catching a few of the higher-up branches too–tossing one end of a bungee cord to grab a branch with it's curved end and pulling it down to my reach. Unfortunately I still can't get at the top branches and will need to prune the tree for it to be manageable in years to come. But that, later in the year!
I had an awesome surprise today when I walked outside and noticed berries staining my front walk. The tree next to my porch is a mulbery! Apparently it has never fruited until this year–perhaps it was to young? In any case, they're delicious! I just need to figure out how to harvest the ones off the tall branches....
