Just to say thank you. The Heron protection electric fence is just great. Ordered Thursday, delivered Monday, finished installing on Wednesday, the pond was attacked Wednesday night I am not sure if it was a cat or heron but my prize fish is still cruising around. I knew the electric fence would work, as I thought I would improve the route to earth by adding an extra earth wire round the pond and back to the energizer, thinking it's not going to have much power I did not turn the mains off, the earth wire touched the live wires, and although I don’t have much hair, I believe what I have was styled into a punk hair do in an instant. Excellent piece of kit, along with excellent service and advice. (plus Hair styling optional extra for thick'os who don't respect electricity).
Thanks again

Description
Bush or a tree? The reality is mulberries are medium sized trees that naturally grow in a bush form.
Forgetting the fruit for a moment, this really is beautiful ornamental tree - in the Spring and Summer the foliage positively glows, whilst in the Autumn and Winter the stark gnarled framework of branches looks simply stunning.
Mulberries have never really 'made it' commercially as a fruit because they are simply too delicate to travel when ripe and can't really be picked until they are; at least this is one fruit they can't muck up the true flavour of!
Mid Summer the fruits mature to purplish red colour, when they should be picked and eaten soon after - be delicate with them as they crumble easily. Their flavour is truly sublime, and packed with lots of sweet juice.
- Self Fertile.
- Fruiting should commence 2 - 3 years from planting.
- Please note that the foliage on young Mulberry trees is often deeply lobed and does not resemble that of mature trees.
