We look after a fine old Mulberry at the poet John Keats' house.

 

Always a good fruiter

Trouble is, there's no way of nicking Mulberries without leaving an incriminating trail of red juice all down your front. We have a nice one at Scotney and whenever I have a chat with visitors I'm always amazed at how few people know about them and even fewer have ever tried them. Do you think you can't buy them because they just don't travel well? Best way to eat them = pick and shove.

My local tree is harvested through permission. It's in the front garden of a conversion into flats. last year I asked the residents if they minded me having some and had to explain to them all what they were. None of them wanted to 'risk' eating things off a tree!!

 

Is there no hope for mankind?

 

They don't travel well which is why never for sale. Would chilling work? And, yes, I came home covered in juices daily..perhaps this year a plastic kiddies bib?
