Turning some of the thinner mulberry limbs into chin treats
« on: July 13, 2010, 07:33:21 PM »
Evening all,
This fall I'm going to trim our mulberry tree back, and it's about 5 years old. The branches are still thin on it, it's never been sprayed with bug spray. I was wondering if I could use the thin ones for chin treats? I remember someone doing their own apple tree limbs but I could not find the topic. Thanks for the help, Shannon

Hi
Well I turned the mulberry limbs into stick treats and the chins love it. It's was funny putting the cut wood pieces in to the oven. Even the cat was trying to eat the wood. My uncle got a little upset when I came into the house with a arm load of twigs. But it turned out great.  :) ;) :::grins::
