Garden

Mulberry trees can get very tall and the berries can stain cement. Probably a bird dropped a berry inside that bush many years ago.

Not my favorite fruit tree.

The tree probably sprang from a seed that was mixed in with the dirt your bush was planted in.

I once lived in a house with a large mulberry tree.  It was covered with fruit, huge luscious looking berries.  Upon close inspection however, I discovered a small worm in each and every berry.

The pollen from these trees is very bothersome to people with allergies.  They can't be planted in Albuquerque.

I've read they can create lots of pollen, but I've never really noticed since my trees are in the back corner of my property--far away from the house.  I love the literary connection to "Pyramus and Thisbe"--a precursor to Romeo and Juliet.  These two lovers were going to meet by the mulberry tree, but ... I won't spoil it in the event someone wants to look it up, but I think it's cool the way the story explains how the mulberries got their color.
