Question: Do you spray your mulberry trees for pest control?

Where I once lived they had wild mulberry trees growing next to a good size pond and the trees would put out tons of beautiful berries every year, but when looked at closely I'd see very tiny white maggot like worms crawling between the small round balls that formed the fruit.

Being wild, I knew nobody was tending to the trees.

Never and the wild ones I pick from other than the birds and coons, ect they seem to be pest-free. I didn't even realize they could have an insect pest problem.

I experienced the same thing…never ate another one.
