Since now residing in Connecticut with some land I have deciding to grow some fruit. I have planted 2 different elderberry bushes, 1 mulberry tree, a strawberry patch, 2 different blueberry bushes, a gooseberry bush, 1 Turkey Fig tree and one cherry tree. This year I will have the opportunity to taste my gooseberries, mulberries, strawberries and figs. I bought most of the bushes from Shrub Bucket or Tree Center.

Mulberry ( Morus spp) were once widespread throughout North Africa, the Middle East, southern Europe and the Mediterranean. In the mid seventh century they were introduced to Britain and the American Colonies. Historically these mulberry bushes were to feed silk moths, but the silk business did not prosper.
