Red Mulberry Photo-reactivity

I know that Osage is photo-reactive - darkening under exposure to UV radiation - but does anyone know if Red Mulberry, a cousin of Osage, reacts likewise?

yes, it will turn a rich dark brown over time. There are lots of mentions online of it doing this and even here on these forums.

Mulberry darkens pretty quickly, too.

In my experience, much like it is less intense of a yellow, it also becomes less intense of a reddish-teak-brown once it has aged.  But don't think it doesn't get a rich color when the finish is built up nice and well done.  Mmmm, it can be reallllly pretty!
