“The volunteer mulberry trees in my yard have begun popping with mulberries,”

We have several that have sprung up, unfortunately, not where we would like them. I guess one of them had some berries this year. It’s on the south edge of one of the gardens and I’m afraid it will end up shading out the garden. I have one I transplanted a few years back, but it is still kind of small. The one thing I do like about them is they tend to drop their leaves all at once so you don’t have to keep cleaning up for weeks on end.

Cut off the shading branches, before the new leaves break out.

I have not had good luck growing veggies under mine, the roots get all the food and water.

My mulberry is a male, so no fruit, it is a joke on nature, as it sets the flowers and they fall off, after it spreads its pollen.
