We have been picking a few mulberries every morning from Oma's tree, mostly just to eat immediately, but some to save for later. It is a tree, not a bush, although as you can see in the picture below, it does look very bushy. It has a thick tree trunk but the branches come down so low and the leaves are so full and dense that it seems like an enormous bush, just like in the song.
The berries are very sweet and juicy when ripe. The juice is a beautiful deep red color but luckily it does not stain, otherwise we would be in trouble.
We made a very limited supply of jam with the berries and also have been eating them over vanilla ice cream. So yummy!
