Texas Mulberry Tree
We bought this Texas Mulberry tree at the Mostly Natives Plant festival out near Boerne about two years ago. It was less than a foot high. We planted it in the ground and prayed we would not kill it with the lawn mower because it was so small. Well it made it and this year it produced fruit. The tree is still only about 5 feet tall, but the fruit is so very sweet. I could not believe it. The fruit is ripe when it turns dark purple. We gave some to our neighbors and they made mulberry pancakes with them. Sounds yummy.
