Mulberry bleeds heavily at the cut, so much so that if pruning one you would be advised not to make a cut of more that 2” in diameter. Consequently it will need at least a year to season before burning. It will split easily and burns with a medium amount of smoke but spits out a lot of sparks. It has a pleasant fragrance and is popular for smoking meat or for barbeques.

 

It will produce a lot of heat, similar to Apple or Pear wood.

 

Mulberry sells well to furniture makers as it bends easily with heat. If you cut it into 6' lengths about 3” wide it will sell for a good price.

I suppose the mulberry on that side of the pond is about the same as this side. Although ours grow into rather large trees at times .

 

The wood is a second cousin to osage orange and is a really good "coaling " wood with a high BTU content . Kind of sticky stuff to cut though.It has a thick milky sap about like a rubber tree. Although to tell the truth I've never seen a rubber tree .

Have you ever seen a rubber on your tree?

Very good wood, takes long to dry, lots of moisture inside. We have them around homes in Ontario, Canada. Good heat, high BTU - fruitwood. The berries are good to eat, similar to blackberries
