Mulberry Tree (Morus alba hybrid) Seeds
My first boyfriend mailed me a box of mulberries from his homestead, romantic, right? Not quite. By the time it arrived, the box was leaking fermented juice and smelled like a winery gone wrong. That’s when I learned mulberries don’t travel. They’re meant to be eaten barefoot, under the tree, juice on your fingers and a grin on your face.
