How to make mulberry paper widerange cones: the biological way

[Mattes]

Hi,


Of course I know that there are easy ways to make a paper cone, just cutting a flat piece of paper and glueing it together.

But I didn´t aim at another Lowther copy, I want strong, light exponentially curved mulberry paper cones.
So I went and manipulated the DNS of our mulberry tree (morus alba) a little bit, I think it´s now morus alba musicorum. The cones now grow directly on the mulberry tree, and are exactly as I want them.

I´m very happy with the results, please have a look at the photos.
Time to harvest!
Time to build drivers!


All the best

I once tricked my wife into hearing the speakers play via a binaural recording and headphones. She's a gardener, I wonder if I could... "Honey - look at this new tree I got a a yard sale!"
