So no figs yet, but there are plenty of mulberries to eat. :)

Hmm who had the hard job of holding the bowl Henry. lol
Thanks for sharing the video.

Fresh homegrown fruit in April?  VERY cool.  Thanks for posting this Henry.

@ Martin: Yeah, I'm kinda short not much help when it comes to picking fruit, but that's what my brother is for.
@ Dave: I close my eyes and pretend that they are figs.

thanks for posting. I enjoyed the video.

Mine are a little behind yours, but well along. See new Gallery.

Thanks for the video .

i dont like drooling in front of my pc :)

Some of today's "Pakistan" harvest. 1000s more to come. The tree just went wild this year.

Jon the taste of that Pakistan is it sweet/tart or sweet ?

Oh Drool.

I've never had a mulberry. What do they taste like?

Pakistan has a very rich SWEET flavor with nearly no noticeable acid. One of the few dark mulberries that even if picked slightly underripe--will still have no acid!!!!! I don't know why! All other dark mulberries I have even if ripened to only sweet flavor, under ripe will always have sweet/tart. Not this. But Pakistan is one of the very few fruit I really appreciate the flavor even though it lacks any acid. Many different flavor notes on the sweet spectrum at once. Exquisitely sensitive to late freezes I hear though.

It usually breaks bud here just after new years - very eager to get going.
Fruit is very sweet. Illinois Everbearing is even sweeter, but only about 1/4 the size.
Flavor is sort of blackberry and cranberry like  mix (without the aici), but different. Can't think of anything that is similar.

On my morning bicycle ride yesterday I passed on a street with a wild mulberry tree growing on the edge of a large drainage ditch that for some reason I thought someone had cut down. Much to my surprise I saw the staining on the concrete. I pull over and had breakfast, boy were they good.
