UGH....we paid to have a huge mulberry tree in my neighbors yard cut down...the birds made a mess of it and of course it always ended up in our yard..on our house, deck, sidewalks, gardens and garage..NASTY Purple bird droppings everywhere...it made it unbearable to be outside during the ripe mulberry season...When we built this house there was a Mulberry seedling on the property behind us I told the builder I wouldn't buy the property unless it was gone
