Alvin, you always have so much going on in your garden.
You gave me a start when I saw the picture of your Mulberry. I know it is a totally different species than our invasive mulberry, which is as close to immortal as you can get. Spreads like wildfire from seed in both full sun and hidden deep within the shaded shelterbelts. Laughs at herbicides even when fully drenched way above label rates for glyphosate, Mec Amine, etc. You can burn the leaves off this way multiple times but it just regrows. Farmers pull them out of the ground with their loader buckets. I have found that cutting them down just as the sap is heading to the roots in the fall, and painting a 50% straight glyphosate (undiluted Roundup) on to the freshly cut trunk works. Perhaps decades of herbicide treatment has created a monster.
I am sure yours will behave itself and be beautiful.
