I remember singing the nursery rhyme ‘Here we go round the mulberry bush’ but in fact when I was looking for a bush I came across the mulberry tree.
I was wondering why no one took up this issue and scrapped that rhyme. I have two mulberry trees both came from cuttings that my neigbour gave me.
They are easy to grow and yield profusely. What grows in our garden does not have a big size but they are quite sweet when they turn black.
This fruit, besides eating, can be used for making juice, wine and jam. I tried all this and was quite successful.

I don’t believe I have ever had one of these.
It is a tree and not a bush
I have one outside of my house, going to plant more maybe.
These fruits are very tasty.
Never had them before but i remember the song.
It is a tree and not a bush and so I wonder (lol)
The ants grow here too … I’ve already eaten white and red
Yes , I have eaten it many time , mulberries syrup is beneficial for dry cough
I must remember that next time I get a cough
They look rather like blackberries only a slightly different shape. I have never even seen them on sale here but apparently they are grown in the London area of the UK mostly.
If you look at the featured image you will see they are red before turning black.
Those mulberries look really good. I love these berries they are delicious. I had them in Latvia and in Latvian the mulberry tree is zidkoks and the berries zidkoka ogas.
Quite a tricky word there in Latvian!!
I love mulberries and I have a sapling of that in our backyard.
Birds finish them even before we start collecting.
