Mulberry, Bird Protection
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?XQQOD 17 June 2013 Bird Protection for weeping, fruiting, black fruit, mulberry bush
Fruiting mulberry bush bird protection via a fibre glass screen cage, supported by eight foot rebar and held in place with plastic ties. Trays are placed under the tree to catch the ripe berries when the tree is shaken.Robins eat the berries and defecate on the tree if no protection is provided.This weeping fruiting mulberry produces a black elongated fruit similar to a blackberry, but a bit smaller and sweeter. |

Nice looking tree! We have some wild ones around at my cottage i harvest every year. The weeping form is nice, quite tall! I guess if you headed it when young, it would be smaller. How tall is that?
