    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.

    You have no idea how excited I am! My own mulberry tree! This is one living thing I will actually gladly take care of.

    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.
