It’s so difficult to get all the mulberries in the picture, but I tried my best…

I absolutely love having a mature mulberry plant, because the yield of fruits just keeps getting better. Novice Gardener told me it would be the case, but there’s nothing like seeing to believe. There are more clusters of fruits than I ever imagined seeing, and it’s so nice knowing that I have the type of plant that has bigger fruits (compared to the one with fruits about 1cm in length only).

Well, it’s not just me who has been eyeing the fruits. I know that the birds have been indulging in them as well because of the half-eaten fruits on the plant and scattered on the ground. However, it was only today that I managed to catch the culprit in action…

…the Yellow-vented bulbuls. There was a pair of them that visited the plant a couple of times during the day. Well, after tasting the mostly ripe fruits, I can’t say I blame them. The fruits are big, juicy and tangy. Yum!

Some of the mostly ripe fruits that I snacked on. Delicious!
