Re: Mulberry Dreams

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I just bought a mulberry tree from Mellingers. I have yet to plant it --
how big do they get? That will help me decide where to put it. AND, as long
as I'm on the subject, since I've heard the birds prefer mulberries to
other things -- should I plant it far away from other fruit trees, or close
by? Any ideas? 

Oh yes, to keep on topic, I'll put it in its own 4x4 square. <g>
