The guy that owns the lot next to my side lot has a big mulberry tree that overhangs the fence between us. Early this Summer when the mulberries ripened, they fell on the ground so thick on my side of the fence that my riding lawnmower tires just spun when I tried to mow over them. there were huge piles of them on my grandkids swing set and slide and you really couldn't do anything in that part of the yard. SO......I'm going to call the owner (he rents the house out) and ask him if he just wants me to take the offending limbs down that hang over my lot or does he want the whole tree down. Either way, I'm pretty sure that I'm about to get a bunch of mulberry wood and I'm curious to hear if any of you have used it and whether or not you like the flavor on meats.

Mulberry is good wood. It is the only fruitwood that I use. I prefer mulberry over apple any day. I think it burns better and makes a better bed of coals than apple. I also know those who think just the opposite....

Hey John, I use it quite regularly. It is very similar to apple, but the ash is alot lighter and "fluffy". I personally like the apple better for my stickburner, but to each his own, and I would deffinately not turn it down.
I believe in Mich, your property lines extend into the air and any limbs hanging over the line ar yours at the line. Talk with the nieghbor and see if you can trim it back to the main tree. Its better for the tree. They grow like weeds.Lang 60 Mobile deluxe

I don't have to worry about the neighbor complaining about cuttin' on the tree, he's a friend of mine. I'll just call to see if he wants the branches down or the whole tree. He used to complain about it too before he moved away. So I'll for sure for now cut the offending limbs off and cut them into 2" thick rounds on my miter saw to store in a plastic tub until they've dried enough to use.
That's what I do with all the odds and ends of wood I collect here and there. Cut it into a size to go right on the coals and store it in it's own labeled plastic tub.
Thanks for all the input!
