There is a lot of mulberry in my area in IL it is like a weed growing everywhere.
I use to pick the leaves off them and feed my red foots, now I take my trimmers and cut branches off and give them that they eat the leaves and
leave the branches, I feed the berries and they love them but sounds
like others don't feed them, been burning some mulberry in our wood stove
its burns good and always can tell mulberry cause the wood is yellowish color.

You have redfoots which can eat the fruit, most of the others have nonfruit type tortoises. :cool: My ex, when my old tree lost one of it's major branches took the thick wood for a guy who loves it for smoking his meat. It tends to almost be like a weed in my yard too, but sadly most of them come up in the fence line where I can't transplant them out to better spots in the yard.
