At least you didn’t have a mulberry bush.
or an olive tree
We had mulberry TREES, a century old. And sometimes white cars, though they did not stay that way on top. I had a convertible with a (haha) white vinyl top.
I had 3 of those when we moved to our new home in ‘02. I cut them ALL down and dug out the stumps............
Ain’t that the truth! We had one on some business property we were developing. While my husband was bushhogging underneath it, some mulberries fell on the tractor seat and he sat on them. I never could get the stain out and had to throw away his pants, it looked like he’d eaten mulberries and had a bad “accident”. Oh, yes - the aforementioned article: Time to cut down the mulberries in Congress - they’re a huge stain on the integrity of America and our troops.
