thank youuu so much..u have done a great job.
I was searching for Mulberries by googling…and it says red mulberries trees are most endangered species in Canada. There are only 200 trees of mulberries left in whole Canada :rolleyes: How stupid is that…khair i am definitely going to order one from states…hopefully it will survive in my backyard…its huge tree though :halo:

Good luck growing it! How do you grow a tree? Do you literally spend years growing it from tiny sapling, or can you get one that's a man-sized bush and that has fruits already?

I always thought that it's hard to move anything but an immature tree because of their complex root systems....

Re: what do you calll them in english?

yup...you get a mature tree which will start fruiting fully in 2-3 years.
We already have peach, apple, cherry and pear trees. So far they are doing great....
unfortunately Fig and blueberry trees died :(

Re: what do you calll them in english?

Nice ! How do your home-grown fruits tastes compared to supermarket produce? My family’s house in London used to have 3 apple trees and a plum tree .. they were the sweetest tasting apples I’ve ever known. We sometimes used to make apple juice out of them too :yummy:

With that many trees though… who ends up doing the raking :stuck_out_tongue: . Back in London, come August/September someone ( :frowning: ) ended up having to go out to the back garden and rake up all the leaves and fallen, rotting apples into a pile and dump them on the compost heap. I so hated those trees every August/September :smiley:

Re: what do you calll them in english?

these are blackberries
shehtoot are much longer in length and thinner. They also taste different from blackberry.

Re: what do you calll them in english?

Falsays are Boysenberries.

The picture in the link above is nowhere close to boysenberries.

16

Re: what do you calll them in english?

I think people are confused. Falsays are not like blackberry or Boysenberries.
It more looks like blueberry…but it has seed inside it. Blueberries are not so sour.

There is a store now in Toronto that sells imported faalsay. They are usually sold out within hours on they day they arrive (the day the PIA flight arrives to Toronto, weekly).
