I have a black mulberry tree in a coastal location of South Australia. It’s canopy would spread around 6 metres and I estimate it’s approx 100 years old. It always provides an abundance of fruit without much care from me. This year I’ve noticed half the crop (especially the more exposed areas of tree) appear dried up and almost sunburnt?? Some of the branches are covered in moss and they tend to be more brittle also but this may be an unrelated matter. Not sure if it’s a fungal disease I read about called popcorn disease. Would it be beneficial to gently remove the dried/dead leaves and fruit? Given the tree is fruiting I imagine this may encourage a better yield? Any tips would be appreciated!

Hello!
I used to watch a Youtube channel that would consistently do long form interviews with all kinds of knowledgeable figures related to permaculture, self reliance, etc. I remember he was a hopeful channel – talking about the flaws in society but trying to use his platform to educate and prepare people with real world solutions. I remember a specific video in which the guest talked about how he made money from a variety of sources with his lifestyle – raising and selling koi/goldfish on his property was one of them. I’ve browsed this reddit & all over Youtube and have yet to find it. Does anyone have any ideas on who it could be?
