I have no idea what tree or bush this is. Have never seen anything like it before. Can anyone tell me what it is?

I have seen a lot of mulberry trees in my life, so I am pretty sure this is a mulberry, but they usually have fruit on them when I see them. I havent seen one this small in years and my memory is a little rusty. Can anyone confirm if this is Mulberry please? Thanks!

Hey ticks here is some info I was able to find, and a link to the site that I found it on. Do you have Blue Spruce, or are you planning to get some? Very beautiful trees. My favorite evergreen I think. The great thing is that they grow well almost anywhere. Link...

I believe it is a walnut Shellie...I think it's a black walnut..it looks so much like one, but maybe someone else knows more and will be able to identify it with more confidence. :)

hee hee that counts!! Oh I would LOVE to try heirloom fruit!! I never knew until recently that there are so many different variations of fruits and vegtables. I think it's amazing!

ok here are my trees! YAY!! ET to change the picture size....but I still think these are kinda big! I sized them to website size on photobucket, are these too big?

When you folks are saying toxic, what do you mean? Could you elaborate a little bit more? Are the trees toxic to chickens? Are they toxic to children? Or just other plants? oh and I finally have pics of my trees uploaded to my computer. Don't know why, but it wouldn't work right for the longest...

Oh wow great tips adondro!!! And thanks for the clarification ladies on the difference between Jam's and Jellies! Now if I can just remember it after so many years of confusion! LOL nubsmum what a great tip as well! I may have to use that, especially if I ever enter any jams or jellies into the...

Thanks Tutter and Cassandra! hmmm that begs another question...how do you make Jelly? I know Jam and Jelly are different, but I thought jelly had the bits of fruit in it. I don't like clumpy "Jelly", so what should I make? I like the smooth stuff. :weee

very cool! They look so yummy! I thought they might have been some kind of heritage or heirloom varieties. (though last night I was unable to find heirloom fruit so maybe that doesnt exist lol) anyway great haul!

Thanks! What is a food mill?

someone from the BYC told me that the pretty flowering form of portulaca is not edible and can make you very sick...even possibly death....I would read up on the edible vs non edible kind and positively identify which ones you have before you eat any.

We have wild blackberries on our property and I would like to make some blackberry jam with them if someone has a recipe. Is it easy? Hard? what do I need? thanks :)

No problem mystery solved yay! Hey tutter, are those all oranges in your avatar, or are their some grapefruit and things like that in there also? They look yummy! I am so excited you guys, we have wild blackberries growing on our property. We picked some that were ready to be picked...

Thanks!! hm I don't know..I sure wish I could help! see if the "never show smilies as icons for this post" box is checked when you go to post a reply. It is located under the box that you type in, and above the submit. That's the only think I can think of. I'm not all that good at computers

PennyinOK yep I'm the kitty rescuer! Hi! She is doing well despite the incessant torture of my children lol Does anyone know how I can find out what zone I'm in?

mirime, you don't like the walnuts? I am excited about it b/c we will have walnuts. YAY!!! What do you do with the wood after you cut them down?

It's a nostalgic thing for me too, along with the fighting with them that my dad used to do..he also used to fight with the grass trying to get it to grow. It was pretty funny, and still is. He let a few grow big enough to be able to climb in. My grandma had one too if I remember correctly. They...

HA HA Pat I was thinking the SAME thing!! Glad to know that I wasnt the only one worried about that! LOL

um I guess I don't understand, please, please don't take this the wrong way, but why do you want a mimosa tree? I understand the flowers are pretty, smell good, and attract hummingbirds(ha ha that should be enough lol). Is that why? I guess the reason why I don't understand is b/c growing up my...
