Published on Sep 7, 2012 Information on the white mulberry. The information taken out of the Peterson Field Guides. Trees ranging from 20 to 60 feet in hight. As mention this tree did not produce the fruit, like other mulberry trees. This is a video from my old channel, AccordingtoAdam1826, that was closed due to uncertain circumstances. We are back on the new channel, Adam hall000, and posting all of the old videos. These videos are property of Adam Hall.

Location: Owatonna Last fall I discovered I have Mulberry. I took several pictures and asked for opinions. Most guessed White Mulberry. Compared several web sites and often found conflicting info. That was in the fall. Now, Im seeing a different view in summer. There are 2 areas and wondering if I possibly have both. One side of the woods (tall 25ft maybe). now has berries. On the other side several smaller. I don't see any berries on those. Im sure these came from seeds spread by birds. Cacophony of migrating birds in spring. I'll enclose a couple of pics on the first one that I wonder if possibly Red Mulberry. |

Based on these observations, I believe the photos show a white mulberry. |
