Re: [RC] mulberries - Maryanne Stroud GabbaniI guess that mulberries would be in season later there than here. I wouldn't worry at all. Our mulberry season is in April and during that time just about every living creature stuffs itself on them. Our horses love them and will hoover under the trees if there is anything to be hoovered, or otherwise can be persuaded to stand under mulberry trees for hours while we turn purple in exchange for a fair bit of the fruit.Haven't seen anything on the harmful effects of mulberries for anyone. I give my parrots mulberry branches to chew as it contains stuff that is good for them.

I have a huge mulberry tree in my corral, which adjoins the pasture. Unfortunately, it drops fruit from spring until about now, roughly 6 months of the year. I block off the area because the horses love the berries and I don't want them to get sick from eating too many. At some point our weather here in the central valley of CA will hopefully cool down and we'll get some rain. The way to the overhang for the horses is via the mulberry tree. Right now the berries that have dropped all summer long are all over the ground and are kind of dried up. I let the horses in to see if they would eat them and of course they did. Am I being paranoid to think they will get sick form eating too many? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
