Description

The listing, Mulberry Seeds has ended.

I have delicious mulberries producing like crazy. I offer 20+ seeds to start mulberry seedlings

This is not for seedlings I have a listia offering seedlings, this is just for the seeds these are prolific I have 8 mulberry trees and I can send the winner seeds from the tree of their choice

1 tree produces pretty fat round mulberries and this year they are sweeter then last the berries take a bit longer on this tree to turn black

2 the tree produces small to average size berries but they are always the sweetest of all the trees

3 the tree produces mounds of mulberries but they are a bit bland if your looking for quantity say for chickens feed then seeds from this one maybe your preference

4 the gentle giant this gal is huge she is as tall as many of the other trees here she is only over reached by a sycamore tree and her fruit is all around pretty good sweeter this yr then last

I offer plenty of seeds and if you would like a mix from all the trees I can do that too I offer so many because there are MALE mulberry trees that do not produce berries I have one huge one that the kids tree house is in

You do not have to have a male on your property but if you get a couple males I want to be 100% sure you will get the females that bear the fruit

My trees are cold hearty and grow very fast I have seen 4 feet in a season and if winter is not an issue then they will really have grow time I have 2 that came up this year from seeds my chickens spread in my tea garden they are already over 6 feet tall each and I have to dig them out they can not live in the tea garden

The Romans ate Mulberries at their feasts, as we know from the Satires of Horace, who (Sat. ii,) recommends that Mulberries be gathered before sunset. We also find mention of the Mulberry in Ovid, who in the Metamorphoses refers to the legend of Pyramus and Thisbe, who were slain beneath its shade, the fruit being fabled to have thereby changed from white to deep red through absorbing their blood. By Virgil, the tree is termed sanguinea morus. Pliny speaks of its employment in medicine and also describes its use in Egypt and Cyprus. He further relates:
'Of all the cultivated trees, the Mulberry is the last that buds, which it never does until the cold weather is past, and it is therefore called the wisest of trees. But when it begins to put forth buds, it dispatches the business in one night, and that with so much force, that their breaking forth may be evidently heard.'

Mulberry Juice is obtained from the ripe fruit of the Mulberry by expression and is an official drug of the British Pharmacopoeia. It is a dark violet or purple liquid, with a faint odour and a refreshing, acid, saccharine taste. The British Pharmacopceia directs that Syrupus Mori should be prepared by heating 50 fluid drachms of the expressed juice to boiling point, then cooling and filtering. Ninety drachms of sugar is then dissolved in the juice, which is warmed up again. When once more cooled, 6.25 drachms of alcohol is added: the product should then measure about 100 drachms (20 fluid ounces). The dose is 2 to 1 fluid drachm, but it is, as stated, chiefly used as an adjuvant rather than for its slightly laxative and expectorant qualities, though used as a gargle, it will relieve sore throat.

In the East, the Mulberry is most productive and useful. It is gathered when ripe, dried on the tops of the houses in the sun, and stored for winter use. In Cabul, it is pounded to a fine powder, and mixed with flour for bread.

The bark of M. nigra is reputed anthelmintic, and is used to expel tape worm.

The root-bark of M. Indica (Rumph) and other species is much used in the East under the name of San-pai-p'i, as a diuretic and expectorant.

The Morinda tinctoria, or Indian Mulberry, is used by the African aborigines as a remedial agent

Gerard recommends the fruit of the Mulberry tree for use in all affections of the mouth and throat.

'The barke of the root,' he says, 'is bitter, hot and drie, and hath a scouring faculty: the decoction hereof doth open the stoppings of the liver and spleen, it purgeth the belly, and driveth forth wormes.'
