Morus rubra

Morus rubra or Mulberries are common here the north east, and you can usually find two varieties red mulberries and white though only the red is native. unlike the nursery rhyme mulberries aren't bushes they are actually trees and produce blackberry looking fruit. You can tell when the fruit is ripe when the berry comes off in your fingers with little effort. They taste alright though I prefer them in a jam.
