So Gala if i can find my family crest with a mulberry tree incorporated this would be the family,just maybe the one who represents the symbolism.                                                                                                          Colonel so if the crop is abundant we can freeze have puddings all year.

Hi Colonel,yes we have the edible fruit the dark berries(moro) a great thought the crumble,think i will have it with custard,yumee.                                                                                                                                      Gala as always most interesting,gosh what a wonderful tree this is turning out to be!you could say its the tree of life,the farmers growing and cropping the fruit and the leaves,the silworms,the silk,the merchants and the wealth.The history the sybolism, the connection with Leonardo da Vinci ,this is quite a  detective  story.Have also heard that the mulberry tree was incorporated in a family crest,but not found who yet,will have to dig further into the roots?

Silk what a lovely thread!!  Again what an interesting story.Maybe we are getting nearer to the emblem of the mulberry tree, if we are now back to the 12th century.Italy must have been a great centre for silk production,where at that time the income would have gone into the coffers of the feudal lords.

Thu, 09/20/2012 - 17:25

Thanks Gala,had always thought of Asia being the sole supplier of silk and not so close to home. The tree also bares  fruit which i think is edible.                                                                                                    Annec thats a lovely romantic story hiding food for the POWs, you mention the word emblematic this jogged my memory,a member of his family emphasized  the word emblematic,just get the feeling that its more than just a tree!
