Mulberries: Identification, Harvesting, & Uses

[@jackjones9460]

I first met mulberries at work. Riding along a railroad branch line I saw blackberries growing in a tree, then noticed they were all along that one line! Found out they were Mulberries, then noticed different trees ripened all through the summer. I still need to go back to get cuttings for my garden and as gifts!

These grew in my kindergarten, and carry good memories for me (:

Very popular tree years past but rarely planted these days it seems. Absolutely delicious🏆👌🏻

I love my mulberry trees. A friend brought me one from Ohio as a seedling she was surprised when i told her the elm she brought me was actually a mulberry.

I Just realized i had these in my yard! I’ve lived in this house for a few years now and never noticed until yesterday! I’m definitely gonna be eating some!

Great topic. Mulberry smoothies are the best! Another lookalike is the invasive Paper Mulberry: Morus papyrifera (now Broussonetia).

One thing to keep in mind is that unripened mullberry is hallucinogenic

True story

[@danepiper1]

I spent age 3 to age 5 living in mulberry trees. Grandad had 2 black 2 red and 1 white. Black wonderful, red great but somewhat tart, white, sweet but musky.

Today I was old…😅 Nice video. 👌

Good to know. Thank you.

[@chrissypacheco9635]

Wow, we have tons of mulberry trees where we live.

[@Tutovnik-info]

Hey :) What about Morus macroura? :)

[@countesscable]

Being retired, I’m old enough to know better, but when I was on Holiday in Greece, I saw a drooping bunch of what I thought were small grapes. As soon as I started munching I noticed the colour on the stalks and spat out what was left. 😱 I didn’t experience any side effects but expected to keel over and die!!!!

I was presently surprised to find a Mullberry tree growing in my yard after allowing wild trees to grow, birds must plant them after eating them. Neighbors poison it along with all my fruit trees and evergreens from jealousy, claiming blight. A second one started coming up now. I had plum trees that sprung up from roots quickly spreading, that died easily from neighbor's herbicides, but Black Walnut trees planted by squirrels are very resistant to herbicides. Hardness of wood seems to make a big difference.

Anyone else see the little worm at 0:40 in the middle of the bowl of mulberries?

[@mariatorres9789]

Lol. I've never seen a sassafras, but I've seen thousands of mulberries. My hubby went & picked a bunch, while drinking mulberry wine from the year before. He didn't know, you can't eat the green ones, and puked his guts out. Lol. Make sure, you only eat the VERY ripe berries, and if you eat the leaves, cook them, and pour the water off first, before eating.

Is the narrator of this video from Alabama?
