Mulberries

When we moved into the house, there was a very large, very old maple tree in front.  It was close to the end and soon died.  The power company cut it down before the dead limbs could bring down the power lines.  There was a bare stump there for a few years, and then this tree began to grow.  It's a mulberry tree, probably growing from seeds left by a bird.

Well it's ten years on and that mulberry tree is tall and it has a lot of fruit on it!  Not only do the birds like it, but the neighbours (and their kids) do too!  It's not uncommon to see 4 or 5 kids and a grownup or two picking the berries off the tree.  They aren't overly sweet, but they're pretty nice when fully ripe.  The only thing that's missing are the silk worms!
