The Errant Mulberry


 I noticed this plant growing in my garden and used Google Lens to identify it. It said it was a mulberry tree.  There is no room there for a big mulberry tree so I quickly dug it up.

  1. I wonder if it would have produced berries. I remember someone in our neighborhood in Illinois having a .... uuuummmm rather big mulberry tree, but I don't remember anyone eating the fruit except the birds.

  2. Oh, the birds love mulberries. I am sure they are the ones who planted it.

  6. Such a shame you had to pull it up, Christine, but it just wouldn't fit in that space.

  7. I am going to have to try Google Lens. That would be so helpful. YOU, have a grand weekend.

  8. Such a tree would have been great, but if there is no space, of course it is not possible.

  10. Lens is helpful isn't it. I try it with my mushroom photos and that confuses me more though. Mushrooms are difficult to identify I think! :-D

  11. Good thing you pulled it up. Mulberry trees can be very aggressive.

  12. I bet this tree would have taken up the garden quickly. I've been pulling out little oak trees all summer from last falls acorns.
