A cedar waxwing landed in the tree just outside my window. A small young tree that I now wonder if it is a mulberry tree. There was a mulberry tree near where I used to live. At times it was teeming with waxwings. It is a beautiful unusual bird and I am so happy to see it. The tree is happy and thriving and so will attract more and more birds.
Some interesting comments from someone who would rather remain anonymous:
Mulberries aren't bushes.
They are very underrated trees though, I have 3 of them within meters from where I'm typing now.
I am very quick to notice worth.
I've had hundreds of Mulberry plants here. It is VERY easy to propagate Mulberry trees, but if you want fruit quickly use cuttings from mature trees. Mulberry trees have been demonized because they "mess" and they are super efficient, ancient, with some of the most complex genetics on the planet, yet even the leaves are super useful.
Serrapeptase, for instance, is something derived from silkworm bacteria, and it's an enzyme related to regeneration, healing, anti-inflammation and such...as opposed to IVM (which has the opposite sort of effect because IVM is synthetic and is seemingly used to counter protease fucnction).
Bizarrely, I used mulberries and milk sort of stuff to ferment feed for plants (like a yoghurt) and it smelled like meat.
You could make PH tests from mulberries or other things with high anthocyanin levels (such as Bottlebrush, which also makes for a good tea).
Serrapeptase, proteolytic enzymes (such as in sauerkraut or other fermented plants, which I could tell you about) relieve, say, "chronic airway disease".
I call fruit 'free booze on trees'. Wish I had a mulberry bush, i thought they were just mythic...from the rhyme, never seen one till now....and that is a beauty bird, amazing thanks
