We're blessed with Pakistani Mulberry trees here in Phoenix, which get delicious fruit as long as your finger. Our main tree is about 25-30 feet tall - gorgeous! This year we tried using shower curtains stretched between t-posts to catch the fruit. We set up several stations under the big tree, with one end of each curtain fastened lower and more loosely than the other, creating a sort of spout. This allowed the berries to fall onto the curtains, and then into capture basins underneath, which made them easier to harvest. The berries MUST be harvested daily or they spoil. We've tried other methods (fresh pick, sheets or containers under the trees), and so far this has worked the best for quantity. However, even though we froze literally gallons & gallons of berries this year, we still captured only a tiny portion of what the tree actually produced. Would love any suggestions to harvest more - thank you!
