We have 3 beautiful mulberry trees in our Thai garden. The berries which aren't taken by the millions of appreciative birds 🤣 we freeze whole for smoothies. I know Thai people love to boil and add sugar to everything but it does ruin most of the mulberry's goodness.

The mulberry leaves eed the silk worms and so yes, they come from China originally and will be with us forever more.

I have to get out early to pick the mulberries and it is a daily pleasure.
