Re: tent cat/birds

Kitty, they dont' seem to mind.  It is on a corner between two other  yards, 
and neither mind.  In fact it is more in one neighbors yard than  mine, 
because I prune mine off the fig tree, but he never prunes it, nor wants  us to.  
I've never eaten the berries, birds seem to do a terrific job of  cleaning the 
tree of the berries before anyone else can get to them.  Have  flocks of cedar 
waxwings that come only during fruiting season.  No clue if  they are around 
this area any other time, but we sure dont' see them except when  the tree is 
ripe with fruit, then it is covered with them.  I've given away  any seedlings 
that come up too, and have a waiting list of people that want  them.

You have  a mulberry tree?  Your neighbors must love you ;+)
I let a volunteer  start up in my yard a long time ago and the neighbors kept
begging me to  take it down.  But I remembered the berries from my youth and
they are  sooooooooo tasty.  Well, eventually I saw the error of my ways and
cut  it down as far as I can reach it (it's between 2 fences), to about 5 ft.
I  cut it back every year when it puts on enough growth to be noticeable.
but  I do miss those berries.
