I loves me some good watermelon. I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur of them. Lol
Cherries are an ok fruit too. :D

Cherries are my second favorite fruit.
Mulberries are my absolute favorite, but they're so rare and hard to find in the US. I usually only find them at farmer's markets for about a month. If anyone knows where I can get some, I'd be very grateful if you share.

All you have to do is pick them from the tree. At least that is how we get them. Mulberries aren't that hard to find around these part. Just about every farm has a couple Mulberry trees.

I'm sure he'd trade you his berries for your melons.
I'm not sure how to get the fresh berries to Cali. The fruit Nazis at the border check points would probably confiscate them. I thought I was going to jail because I had an apple core in the trash bag and they saw it. Sweet talk Bruce into bringing some out when they come in season.

Sorry for bad cell phone picture. Saw the tree so I snapped the pic for you. Maybe Bruce can bring some out for you when he comes out. He's out that way a lot more than I am.

It's 50 feet from the back door of my shop. Like I said, they are very common around these parts. Maybe I can get a sapling to grow and bring it out. If it doesn't have fruit they might not confiscate it. Teach a woman to pick Mulberries, she'll eat for a day. Give her a tree of her own and she can have them anytime she likes. ;)

Update: First tree didn't survive. I've started a second one and I'll make sure the deer don't eat it this time. But, it is mulberry season here in SE Iowa. The wife and I spent about 10 min and had a small amount ready to be consumed. Of course this doesn't count the ones we ate. ;)

You can capture the essence of the great flava by cooking them down, add about 2tablespoons of stick margarine to each quart of fruit and then seal them in sterilized jars with new seals. Mulberrys are so sweet IMHO that they really don't need sugar, its a really good natural food that is great on toast or pancakes or some vanilla ice cream. They typically dont need much help. Just hot pack them in the sterilized jars (some beer brewers just use the dishwasher on HOT to sterilize their glass and gear). Depending on how long you cook/reduce them down they will be thick or thin/runny but either way they are fantastico'... The longer you simmer them down the more concentrated the flava gets... ;) I bet Eli would HATE to have a jar of hot packed mulberrys :) ... They are also great if you freeze them and thrown them into fruit salad frozen and let them thaw slowly in the fruit salad, makes the juice a nice purple color...
As for the tree, I would wait and send it this winter when the sapling is dormant, maybe with just a little dirt on the roots and wrap the root ball/dirt/mulch with a bread wrapper or sumpin like that... The birds of S.D. will love you for this in 20 year Glen, the owners of the white cars, not so much... :)

We froze most of the 2 gallons we picked. Had some fresh on ice cream. I could pick probably another 4 gallons. We have 4 trees around the shop all producing fruit. We'll can a decent amount and make some into jam.
This time of year is awesome. Had fresh rhubarb the other day. Won't be long before the sweet corn is ready. Need to go out and look for blackberries and raspberries. Fresh fruit and vegetables make everything taste better.
It is a bit of a drive from SD.

In the mean time, we can photoshop the pasties in lol.
