But the fruits ripen in may or june at the latest.

I think it must be around 400 years old. It is a mystery as to why it is here, but, as James I had mistakenly had black mulberry trees planted instead of white, so did Henri II of France. Louis XIV had the white mulberries planted for the silk trade.
