I don’t park under a tree for one thing, and for another, these mulberry trees don’t produce fruit. So it’s just the pollen, and that’s enough to make me miserable.
Well that’s a bummer..
What good is a mulberry tree if it only produces mulpollen and no -berry?
My Grandmother had two mulberry trees. We kids loved them because of the tasty purple thingies that they produced. Grandma was not necessarily so thrilled because the birds would gift her lawn chairs with purple also.
She and Grandpa also had blueberries, a grape arbor with four types of grapes, red and black raspberries, an orchard with apricot, plum, peach, pear, black cherry, bing cherry, some really tart cherry she used in pies - we kids left them alone because they were SOUR, three - at least - different apples (Grandpa had a cider press), English walnut, black walnut, and butternut trees. Also a well established asparagus patch bounded on one side by rhubarb whose leaves make excellent kid umbrellas, and ground cherries that I have not been able to grow here (the plants grow, flower, and produce what should be fruit, but the fruit doesn’t fully develop in the husk so all I get are husks with a thing inside that is almost but not entirely quite unlike...) And I probably left some things out.
Looking at the property now on gargoyle earth it would appear that all of that is now gone.
I’m confused. I live in NYC. Very few trees but plenty of birdplops.
