You might use it after processing or seasoning. I don't know much of Mulberry wood, but do make sure it doesn't make your water toxic.

Yep, it's a good way to waterlog it, so it will sink.

Good stuff. I'll probably finish my tank next week with the rest of manzanita and some frogbit. I will be getting something like 3-5 pieces so can't fit in trash can again. Lol thanks darrell.
