Deer LOVE mulberry leaves, the are also very high in protein. The wood from mulberry is very useful, excellent fence post (high rot resistance) and excellent firewood (high BTU)
I think the trap/net guy is seeing $$$$ How would you ever trap enough to even put a dent in the numbers? One breed cycle and the numbers would be right back up.
When I was about 12 years old I netted a 5 gallon bucket full of gold fish out a pond on the campus of a local university. My mom shot down my idea of starting a pet store.
I took the bucket of fish and dumped them in a little swale next door. The swale was mostly cattails with a maximum depth...
I was focusing so much on the last picture, I just noticed there are 2 different trees.
First one could likely have compound leaves (Possibly walnut or ash) 2nd tree looks like Slippery Elm or American Basswood. FWIW
Did a little reading about the North Star, sounds like a good tree. Does the North Star need a pollinator? If it does, what would be a good pollinator for it?

For some people it's pop, for some it's tea, and for a lot of us it's the coffee, but most of us need that shot a caffeine from something everyday. LOL
I'm just starting to experiment with trying to root apple cuttings. I am trying 2 different ways. First is a bottom heat growing box that I made, It holds 36- 3" pots. The sand medium in the pots is held at 65 degrees F, the air temperature is held at 50 degrees F. The idea is to keep the...
I like Folgers Black Silk. I can't function without a couple cups of coffee in my system. I also use the Black Silk in my cold brew jug in the summer time.
I can remember back in the 80s helping some buddies make some steel tree stands. None of us knew how to weld, but we stuck those things together good enough to be alive today. lol
Kinda scary thinking back about it.
