Mulberries are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making them a fantastic addition to any garden. If you have a mulberry tree, you know that the harvest season can bring an abundance of these juicy fruits. Harvesting mulberries can seem like a daunting task due to their plentiful nature and the speed at which they ripen. Here’s a straightforward method to gather these berries quickly and efficiently, ensuring you make the most of your bountiful tree.
Preparing for the Harvest
Before you start harvesting, it’s important to be prepared. Here’s what you’ll need:
A large sheet or tarp: This will catch the mulberries as they fall, keeping them clean and together.
Containers: Have several containers ready to transfer your harvested mulberries.
Wear old clothes: Mulberries stain, so wear something you don’t mind getting a bit dirty.
Gloves (optional): These can help keep your hands from getting stained.
Efficient Harvesting Techniques
Shake the Tree: The easiest way to harvest mulberries quickly is by using the shaking method. Spread your tarp or sheet under the tree’s canopy. Then, grab a branch and give it a gentle but firm shake. Ripe mulberries will fall off the tree and onto the tarp. Move the tarp around the tree to different sections to ensure you gather as many fallen berries as possible.
