I have access to a fruiless mulberry tree.
The questin is , is fruitless mulberry the same as fruited mulberry. And
is it safe for chins?
If it is ok to use I plan on pruning the tree and process the wood as normal, scrub,boil and bake.

Thanks
 
I've heard of people using fruitless mulberry for chins so I assume it's safe. I've never read anything saying the fruitless ones aren't safe either, and mulberry is on the safe wood list. Just make sure it's from a tree that has never ever been sprayed with any herbicide or pesticide. Even if it was sprayed years ago chemicals can be stored for decades deep inside the wood.
