Title: Cedar Waxwings, Milton @ Mulberry tree
Post by: Napper on June 28, 2025, 07:57:33 PM

Back home to avoid the long weekend mayhem. Yard looked dry roasted.
Yard was still buzzing with activity even though I removed feeder weeks ago.
We have a hybrid Mulberry tree in the back corner of the yard. Waxwings, Cardinals  and Robins all day long.
Image of fruit attached.

Looox lyke ah 2-mah.  What happened to the Ontario strawberries?  Everything in the stores is USA.  Are the August blueberries also going to disappear ... to elsewhere?

Took a pic of the leaves and "PLANTNET" identified them as "Black Mulberry"
The tree is now close to 30 feet tall. Lots of wasted fruit on ground. Next year we are thinking of doing a harvest for Mead/wine or jam.

We are Normally up North but kids took over for this weekend.
