Mulberry Tree Update Spring 2011

Dear Neighbors,

Our mulberry trees have been pruned by specialists from Green Thumb, NYC.

The issue of berries on the sidewalk should be resolved!

Thank you!







Mulberry Tree Update 2010  (English/Spanish)

Dear Neighbors,

We understand that this beautiful mulberry tree is rather messy when it drops its ripe fruit over the sidewalk. Garden members have been actively sweeping and cleaning the sidewalk on weekends; however, as much as we sweep, the ground is soon covered again with fresh juicy berries.

We understand this is a problem and we are planning by harvest time next year to create a system that captures the berries before they hit the sidewalk. In addition, in the fall we plan to prune the biggest limb that overhangs the sidewalk.

Meanwhile, we appreciate your patience and we welcome you to join garden meetings on the first and third Sunday of every month at 11am.

Thank you!

Queridos vecinos,

 

Comprendemos que esta bella morera ensucia mucho cuando deja caer la fruta madura en la acera. Los miembros del jardín hemos estado barriendo y limpiando la acera activamente cada fin de semana, pero por más que barremos el suelo se llena enseguida de moras jugosas.

 

Entendemos que esto es un problema y planeamos recolectarlas el año que viene con un sistema que las capture antes de que caigan a la acera. Además, en otoño pensamos podar la rama más grande que cuelga sobre la acera. Entre tanto agradecemos vuestra paciencia y os invitamos a participar en las reuniones del jardín el primer y tercer domingo de cada mes a las 11 am.

 

¡Gracias!
