| I have tons of trees on my new property and wondered if they might sell. They are very messy but are great in my smoothies. |

| I sold 5 bunches of nettle a few weeks ago, so anything is worth a try. You might get some customers who ate them as kids but don't have access to a tree now. You should probably pick them right into pints, like you would raspberries or any other berry. |

| Give potential customer your smoothie recipe -- even if you had them as a kid and over 50, smoothies weren't really an item then. Loved mulberries, but my mother dreaded wash day when mulberry season was on -- birds liked them, too. |

| Harvest by laying out a sheet or tarp and shaking the tree branches. They are ripe when they fall. Gather up and wash/sort, pat dry. Some of the native mulberries have an insipid flavor, but perhaps yours were planted on purpose then the birds spread them around. Nancy |

| What are the growing conditions for mulberrys? I remember buying them at a farmers' market for quite a bit of money... Now that you jog my memory, I'm curious to see whether or not you could grow them in cooler climes.... |
