Gene Howe Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Don't park your car anywhere near one. But, the fruit is good. The birds really like it, too. Hence, the first sentence. Link to comment
HandyDan Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Never saw one around here. Link to comment

BillyJack Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Have three at the park. Ive been trying to call to see if I can take a ladder to pick them Link to comment
Gene Howe Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 A neighbor in IL, had a huge Mulberry in his front yard. One of his citified relatives parked his new, white topped convertible under it. He went back to Chicago with a permanent purple polka dotted convertible top, hood and, trunk. Link to comment
Larry Buskirk Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hydrogen Peroxide will remove the stain. There is also a white fruited variety, besides the red. Link to comment

We didn't have any such esoteric stuff around our house. Mercurochrome was as wild as we got. Link to comment

Gene Howe Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 On our 27 acres, there are only the trees we've planted. Maybe twenty. Mostly hardwoods and a couple spruces. The native tree like growths are what the old timers call cedar bushes. Can get about 15'-20' wide at ground level and, never more than 20' High. We have too many of those to count. We go through about 300+ lbs of black oil sunflower seeds per year, keeping the birds happy. Link to comment
