Fruit is the whole story — from late May into July a fruiting mulberry drops soft purple berries that stain concrete drives, walks, patios, cars, and pets, and birds spread those stains onto everything nearby. After the fruit comes constant small twig litter, plus every seedling that germinates in the beds and lawn that season, which is another mulberry.
Roughly 30 to 50 feet tall and about as wide, reached fast — often inside 20 years — with a working landscape life ended by structure rather than by age. That is a mid-bracket removal by size, but because it is rarely a single clean stem and is usually jammed against a fence, garage, or service drop, expect a rigging job plus stump grinding rather than a straight fell.
