...which sounds a bit like a sneeze but means king's or 'superior' mulberry.

Neighbours T and B planted the tree in their garden a few years ago and it has been fruiting for several summers.
While the tree is dwarfed by the enormous purple fruited mulberry trees growing in both our gardens the fruit is very different to the 'usual' mulberry.

With a sugar content of whopping 30% when ripe the fruit is honey sweet and there's a daily competition between birds and B and T as to who gets there first!
