I am really happy that I found your channel! I have a couple of "wild" mulberry trees grouwing near my fence, and I've collected fruit from them, but I've learned so much more from this video. I hope I have tons of videos to catch up on since this was posted 2 years ago. Thank you, Wendi!
I have many Mulberry trees. I made this, it is very good. Thank you, I would have never known about it had I not come across your video. I am trying to reduce my coffee level, and this works for me. I dried some mulberries as well, and put them in my tea strainer with the leaves. I hardly need any sugar. Thanks again, and God bless you!!
Yay! Wendi is back! Haven't seen your videos in the while. All my favorite gardening RUclipsrs are back and I'm gearing up for another wonderful year of produce. Hope your year is super productive!
One site gave the nutritional breakdown of neem, moringa, and mulberry leaves. Not only is mulberry better than those, it's one of the most nutritious vegetables period. Because of that I make it into a powder and add to rice cooking water, soups, and stews. You could probably get a lot of the benefits and a mellower flavor just by cooking with the tea.
I love your fascinating dialog while you're sharing your harvest. I feel like I'm a little bit smarter now. And you're charming, so that helps too. Subscribed!
I just love mullberry! I got 2 for my garden last summer. Here the leaves has not grown yet. But I will try this when they come. I do my own tea from a lot of eidable plants. From stigning nettles to strawberries, rasberries curryn, the flowers on Danielsson, corn flowers, blueberries etc Lot's of love from Sweden!
@@wendiland yeas I do dry the leaves of many eidable plants. When I am out of sunshine I dry them in the own under 50c°( 122f°). With an open door over night. Well, I acctually do the same With berries and fruits, muchtooms, meat etc, if I need to store them dry. Dry food is exelent to have close as snaks if you are working gard physicilly or if your on a hike. But anyway I do a lot of my own tea. I love your videos!
I am just discovering how much health benefits Mulberry fruits and leaves have. There are a few trees in my neighbor hood that are loaded right now. I have been picking a lot and using them in Smoothies and also eating a hand full each day. I will pick some leaves and try the Tea.
I’ve watched this video last year . I can proudly say I have 2 mulberry trees growing well since then ! Thanks for the video I can’t wait to make some tea 🍵.
Thank you for sharing your passion for this amazing tree! The mulberry is my favorite tree...it's so beautiful and practical. I live in an area with heavy clay soil and the mulberry trees just thrive in it. If you have heavy clay and neutral PH, try a mulberry...they will give you lots of love.
My Mulberry tree that’s over 70 years old gently laid down the other day and landed in the yard without hurting anything and is still alive! We had to trim branches today so now I’ll go get all the spring leaves off those. We are waiting to get the mulberry berry harvest in a few weeks before we will need to get it out of the yard. I have loved this mulberry tree for many years ... still ...
Maybe you can use some of the branches to make things for the garden as a way of keeping some of them. The tree may put out new growth as it is so hardy. Luckily nothing, no one was hurt! Give your tree a hug for me!
@@wendiland Thank you 😊 I will give Mulberry Tree a hug from you. I am going to have to research fairy garden crafts for ideas for the branches 🌈🍇🍃 I have a few weeks before the berries are going to be ready to harvest 💝
@@wendiland I have pet crickets and their habitats are going to expand to being covered in branches! Maybe caves... they have four inch in diameter little logs right now that they love perching on and eating the bark so I’m going to have to expand - for saving as much of the Mulberry tree as I can! My very first Miracle Girl cricket born by parthenogenesis (in the absence of a male) was named Mulberry after this tree! That was three years ago and she had four Miracle Girls eggs hatch and one of them is still alive !! Flower, my longest living cricket at 1 year and 11 months! The Miracle Girls are all in one ten gallon fish tank I decorated as a fairy style garden and about a week prior to Mulberry tree laying down in the center of my yard I pulled out a twenty gallon fish tank to finish decorating because there are seven Miracle Girls now and they could use more space. I have the feeling the walls of the tank are now going to be covered in Mulberry tree branches. And I heard what you said about the thin branches being moldable! That I can shape them and then they would dry holding that shape. I just need to decide on shapes and give it a try, THANK YOU! If you want to see pictures of the crickets I have them on Stay Pumped Facebook page in a folder called, Cricket ChErRy 🍒! She was the first mascot for Stay Pumped and Mulberry was her first egg to hatch. Only two eggs hatched and they lay eggs often-so it seems to be a miracle that any of them hatched! Anyway - I’m greatly looking forward to using as much of the Mulberry tree as I can for the Miracle Girls that all started the day cricket Mulberry was born! Feels so comfortingly meant to be as I write this to you right now 💝🌈🙏🍇🎄Blessings of Mulberry Tree and the crickets ! Stay Pumped 🎈🍇🌸💞 Have a good day ... thanks again - I enjoyed your video!
To get the full benefit from the leaves, one can extract them in a pressure cooker for about an hour - fresh or dried. Adding some ascorbic acid increases the extraction greatly, according to the testing. There are a lot of scientific papers on the subject and the health benefits are fairly astounding.
Our mulberry bush-tree grows 10 to 15 feet every year and every year we cut it back below 8 feet. This year, we can it down to 5 feet and it came back like nothing has happened. It yield so much fruit and leaves, we left most of them to the animals. We dry most 🍃 for medicinal use. Most like we cook a batch with ginger once in a while and drink it like soup. We have a cutting of Pakistani mulberry variety last year from a home garden guy and one of the cutting made it. Looking forward to grow that in my yard and have fruit by next year.
Hi! I'm late for this video but thank you for all the useful info about mulberry trees! I love these berries but I'm excited that I can also make tea from the leaves. Is there another way to dry a bunch of leaves in a humid area, like northern Indiana? I have a closed in back porch and a giant table I could lay them out on, maybe?
I have a mulberry tree in my back yard. Never thought it could be so useful. I would just get annoyed stepping on all the berries. Now I'm starting to look at it differently. I looove tea. **About how long does it take the leaves to dry?**
You didn't mention to various cultivars of your three mulberry trees, only that one of them produces white berries. I'd be interested in learning about which varieties you have and what you like or dislike about each of them. Can the leaves from any kind of mulberry tree be used for tea, or are some cultivars better than others? Lastly, where did you get that AMAZING large flat drying basket??? That's amazing! Thanks so much for sharing.
I actually am looking to convert my farm to 60 acre mulberry farm. Lot of people talk silk worms. My farm has been primarily livestock and pasture. got 160 cuttings on the way. Might have to actually buy and transplant from pots some mature trees for my goat pen i will have them outside of until i have a good feeling the tress are mature enough for them to not kill... them being goats. Now in regards to the sap, can that be harvested/used for anything beneficial? nutrient content for animals?
I have a mulberry tree and after seeing your video I picked alot of leaves and put them in a brown bag, they dried but the leaves aren't green anymore after drying. they turned dark. are they still ok to crush and use for tea? My tree produces dark mulberries. I read an article that a Congressman's wife drank white mulberry tea and it killed her. I want to be sure that my leaves are still ok to use. Your dried leaves are still green but mine are not. If they don't dry green, should I throw them out?
I have hyperpigmentation I looked up hyperpigmentation herbs and mulberry leaves came up does it really work I have African American skin and this hyperpigmentation has to go
Never heard of that, will look into it. Either way, I think it's tasty tea with lots of good benefits. Hope it helps with what you are seeking it for though.
We found two 15' mulberry trees on our property. We didn't know what they were until our sin found the berries. It's leaves are high up and not very accessible. I think it's too big to cut back. Any suggestions on how to care for and harvest. They're in the wooded part of our side yard.
Mulberry trees can be propagated easily. Cut a healthy young branch, about six months to one year young, stick it in a pot and it will root and be ready for transplant in about six months.
This is awesome and will have to try this. Have had a couple of mulberry trees for over a decade but never thought I could use the leaves for much except crafting and my budgie. I do green juice also so could I juice the leaves along with my kale etc? - Heidi
I have a mulberry tree in my home. But its fruit fell down. Do you have any solution to that problem? I have a Pakistani mulberry tree and I live in Pakistan. So, weather shouldn't be a problem.
I got a mulberry tree, my previous owner plant it. This tree seems like got a spirit around it, everytime my wife and i got near to the tree we felt something. I plan to cut the tree. However when i watched this you tube i think i realise it got benefit, not just from the fruit, also leaves and brances ??
Wendi, what kind of stand you put under the flat basket? I saw you tucked the white veil underneath the flat basket. I bought a used bamboo flat basket, do you think it is washable? The bamboo flat baskets are back order online and so is the Asian stores, I happened got an offer for the used one. I m thinking wash it and put out for the sun dry it.
Which leaves are more healthy to make tea? Dark red or white mulberry leaves? And can you give a link for a healthy way to make a mulberry syrup please?
Hello Ms. Wendi ! Thank u for sharing about mulberry leaves. Im here at KSA and we have 1 mulberry tree near my office and had enjoyed a lot its fruits this 1st qtr of the year. Weather not cold not hot. But this month May its getting hot and no more mulberry fruit. Just today learned that even its leaves has benefits that i will now get some and dry it 😊 Can i ask how to grow Mulberry? Will it grow in the Phils? How many years would it take to bear fruits? Appreciated much your reply and other infos about mulberries. Thanks a lot. Best regards. Chona

Broussonetia papyrifera, This is the same tree used for paper and cloth. According to wikipedia : The wood of the plant is useful for making furniture and utensils, and the roots can be used as rope.[3] The fruit and cooked leaves are edible.[ The fruit, leaves, and bark have been used in systems of traditional medicine. For example, the bark and fruit of the species, known locally as jangli toot, are used as a laxative and antipyretic in rural Pakistan.[ The species is used as an ornamental plant. It tolerates disturbance and air pollution, so it has been useful as a landscaping plant on roadsides. It is a pioneer species that easily fills forest clearings, and it has been considered for reforestation efforts.[3] It grows well in many climate types.
There are also various types of mulberries that are native to Europe and North America. It's been my experience that silk worms eat only white mulberry leaves.

Have you ever had the tips of the leaves of your tree start turning black and dying? It seems to be spreading to the other leaves.

If I want to make tea right away, can I use fresh leaves? Thanks!
Yes. In eastern europe, fresh fruit tree leaves are used for teas all summer long.
Cool
Can we use them without drying
Yes, tender leaves can be eaten raw. I've never had them in large amount raw though. Tender leaves can cook in soups too!
Can I harvest the leaves anytime for tea or does it have to be in early spring
Can harvest anytime of year. I just pick them in spring because there's lots to harvest during the growth season.
Your vlog is very educational. Thank you.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed. :)
Nice...I missssedddd ur vlogs 🍵👍👍👍💗☺

Hi, Wendi how does it even taste ? I have a few new leaves on my plant. I was thinking of your experiment.
a bit like powdered green tea to me.

Can you use the leaves from a male mulberry tree?
Never knew leaves cld be eaten raw/fresh! Only certain varieties??

No there’s no caffeine. It’s the camellia sinensis, actually tea plant, that has caffeine.

So the leaves don't get washed before they're dried?
You can wash it, but I often pick them after they dry off from the rain.
how does juicing the leaves in juice go ?
I don’t juice the leaves, They are boiled in water for tea. Very young leaves if tender enough can be eaten.
@@wendiland thank you
There are also various types of mulberries that are native to Europe and North America. It's been my experience that silk worms eat only white mulberry leaves.
Is it ok to mix it with regular tea leaves n drink it
Yes and you can add Hibiscus,mint,lemon grass as well
Do you need to wash the leaves first before drying?
That's up to you. Some will rinse it in the tea pot before brewing the tea. I hosed my tree before harvesting leaves to dry.
Make dolmades with the leaves stuff them with rice or with chop meat
Great idea!
