My yard was once woods and it wants very much to be woods again. Consequently I am always battling new trees.
  The first six years I lived here I tried to kill this tree. It just wouldn't die. A couple of years ago I gave up and the tree took off. Had I known what kind of tree it is I would have left it alone. For the first time it's bearing fruit.
    It's a White Mulberry Tree. There are two kinds of Mulberries here, White and the regular dark purple. Though I love both the white ones have a much higher sugar content. Also they won't stain when the birds poop them out like the purple ones do.
      The tree is very heavy with fruit that is just starting to ripen now. SCORE!

Lovely! I personally like the black mulberries the most. They bear fruit here in Sydney around mid spring when there's basically no other fresh fruit available, so it's good timing. The trees look great too.

    It's surprising that they're not grown commercially.
