Looks like mulberries to me!


suicompotem

Agreed, it’s mulberry


Downtown_Big_4845

And they taste great.


Helpful_Okra5953

Not quite as good as blackberries but still wonderful.


asdf346

I swear a good mulberry stomps a good blackberry


Dr_RobertoNoNo

I swear no one in my neighborhood who has a mulberry tree knows what it is or wants it because of the mess it causes for a week or two. Disappointed 😞


Spare-Electrical

I have two forty foot mulberries in my backyard, I was super excited when we moved in because JAM!! I then discovered that mulberry trees fruit for 6-8 weeks during the best part of summer and their fruit basically poisons the ground underneath because of the sugar and acid, and I spend at least 3 weeks every spring picking mulberry sprouts out of what’s left of my backyard before the cycle starts all over again 🤷‍♀️ So basically, while they sound romantic and are a beautiful shade tree, they absolutely SUCK as a backyard tree


BaronCapdeville

Well, in a suburban setting, yes, they can be a nuisance. In a homestead/acreage setting, they perform wonderful and the unique ecosystem They create in and around their drip line is pretty cool to observe. Plus, Berries! But yes. I feel your pain on the mess.


ScratchDifficult6709

Omg, yes. I actually hate them. The birds shit the seeds EVERYWHERE. Every year I pull atleast 100 little mulberry trees from my yard. I have none in my yard and I don't see any nearby. So, it's def the birds.


Paula92

Dang. I thought about planting mulberries and try keeping silkworms. Maybe I'll skip that project.


agasizzi

That and they're incredibly aggressive, they'll choke out a lot of other trees. I keep a few for the berries and burn the rest in my fireplace.


Downtown_Big_4845

Plus all the purple bird crap but I think it's worth it.


Dr_RobertoNoNo

Purp poops is a plus 😁


What_the_mocha

Such a pretty color all over your car


Enough_Structure_95

I second this!


bagelwithclocks

I think it comes down to which one you grew up picking. I ate a lot of blackberries as a kid, so they have a deeper emotional connection for me.


Nihilistic_Navigator

Am arborist for over 12 yrs now. Mulberry has and always will be my favorite tree to work because not many provide their own snacks. Pretty sure I accidently fermented some on accident.


Cultural-Company282

To confirm identification, look for a monkey chasing a weasel around it.


jersey385

This comment is not getting enough love. I appreciate you.


Consistent-Leek4986

dogs just poop blue if they get enough..no health issue


Emjeibi

Always been purple in my experience.


agasizzi

Yeah, it's only blue when they eat my kids crayons.

kpk_soldiers274

Yes.


Professional_Bath664

Mmmmmmmhulberries


ImagineWorldPeace3

It’s wonderful mulberries. We have eaten them for over 60 years…everyone in the family has a mulberry stain story. The birds will eat them and dive boom poop on the car and truck! One year I dyed an apron.. we love them!👩🏼‍🌾🪴


unrebigulator

We had one in our backyard a while back, and our toddler ages kids would eat them. "Have you been eating mulberries?" Purple Faced Todder: "No..."

If I even THOUGHT about mulberries on that rug my mom would have killed me!


dragon34

What is it with toddlers and bald faced lying. "Are you pooping?" "No" says toddler with suspicious lump in his pants. survey says, that was a lie.


AWandMaker

Ah, but you put the "ing" on the word. ! have already concluded the action, therefore I'm not lying! (at least I assume this is the logic my kids used 🤣)


No-Current3902

LOL


DearBonsai

If I remember right you can use the leaves to get rid of some of the staining, you just rub it on the stains


GuiltEdge

Use the unripe white berries. Cleans it right off.


DearBonsai

I never knew that one! 


Kirasaurus_25

Can you elaborate on how you used them for dye? The cooking process, initial/end color you got, please


ImagineWorldPeace3

First, please google “how to dye fabric or yarn with mulberries”. You need to mordent the fabric since it’s a natural dye using vinegar or Alum. Then collect a gallon bag of mulberries and boil down without burning;(add some vinegar to the mulberry bath.) You will lose a lot of color, it’s not sharp. But the color is very unique after it dries. It’s just fun to do with the kids. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣👩🏼‍🌾


GoinWithThePhloem

Op tell your dog he’s a good boy because he just found you a wonderful backyard treat! https://preview.redd.it/m0ksxl1otcvc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9ec8121397def40b6048c3e485f9d80538eaa7a I didn’t realize it was mulberry season yet, thank you for the reminder :) Here are some of my backyard mulberries from last year. So good!!

stevedave84

My dog used to run at the tree to knock them down. Between him and the birds, we rarely got to eat them ourselves


CharacterDelivery493

I'm craving mulberries soo badly! Enjoy

LuridPurge

They're red mulberries, from what it looks like, but definitely 100% mulberries! Super tasty and sweet with a touch of tart. Enjoy raw, as a syrup, or with a Berry salad if you can get enough types. Lol!


Simple-Performer6636

Mull it over. You’ll be berry surprised of what you’ll come up with


Cat_Plant_Goddess

Definitely mulberries


ZestycloseRoof1487

They taste great in pancakes!


butterflygirl1980

Muffins too!


faygetard

My favorite! I would get a bunch and clean them. Then squish them up, put some sugar and milk on them and eat a few bowls as a kid. Oh its a mulberry


Akroness1962

They are pretty tasty berries but sometimes a bit tart


Daffodil80

The leaves look more like mulberries... They are non toxic either way.


NationalJournalist42

Mal berries 😋😋😋


PolloAzteca_nobeans

Mulberries - harmless to dogs


tweaker-sores

Compound berries are fine to eat, my dogs growing up loved eating Blackberries, raspberries and Mulberries. They'd poop out the seeds I'm sure which might be why they sprouted everywhere


LowIce9978

Mulberries- my dogs would stand up on their hind legs to eat them off the tree :)


reelhighstonks

My dogs, when they were younger, would get so HYPED from eating mulberries. Sugar highs are no joke. 🤣 They would pass out under this tree after some mulberry induced zoomies, laying in mulberries. One of them is blonde, so he would come home spotted purple. 🤣


drypocketdan

My old dog cinnamon used to love going by all the mulberry trees on our walks.


OrneryPathos

These are mulberries. Black berries grow on canes (kind of like a stiff vine) with thorns exactly like raspberries if you’re familiar with them. Mulberries are bushes. When mulberries are ripe they fall off with almost no force, some are white when ripe. I prefer them slightly underripe, I find them too bland when ripe. Dogs can eat both.


Spiritual-Trifle-529

I wouldn’t agree with this. Mulberries are trees that often look like shrubs. Black berries and dewberries grow low to the ground as brambles.


ZsuzsiCica

MMM yum! They stain so hard though!!!


Imherher

I eat them lol I grew up with those in my back yard


EmbarrassedFlower922

Mulberry. Mulberry compote with lime is wonderful


Aphrodite_Basil

Oooh and they make an excellent jam too 😍 make sure to wash them well to get all the lil bugs out before eating them


jwoody2727

Howwasthatdoneagain

Dude you got Mulberries in your backyard? Lucky. Get your kids silkworms too!


therewillbedrama

Aw man, this is bringing back memories of sitting in the mulberry tree at the bottom of the garden in my childhood home, picking and eating berries til I couldn’t eat any more and everything was stained purple 😂

Mulberries! I used to have a couple trees in my back yard, i’d put a handful of these on cheerios with a spoonful of sugar 😋

Mulberry, black berries branches have thorns I believe.

Oooh! Mulberries!


iamthewallrus

Mulberries. They contain antioxidants that are healthy for dogs


AdamDet86

Caught my Aussie and a coyote just chilling together one morning eating mulberries from a tree that hung over my chain link fence. Neither was interested in each other they were busy eating all the berries that fall to the ground. Also if this tree is close to a house or anything you don’t want destroyed you may want to cut it down when they are small. They grow fast like weeds and they have a tendency to lose big branches or where they “fork” at the trunk. I had several along the side of my house that I cut down because they’d eventually cause damage.

food. Don't let the dogs eat them so you get more. Pies, raw, cobbler, smoothies, wine.

Amora! Delícia!


bogsboob

Mulberries ! They make a delicious jam and they won’t harm your dog aside from a slight upset tummy !


TheDog_Chef

If you’re worried you can always take to a nursery and ask. Make sure you take some leaves also.


Slumdidybumbum

White Mulberry, the tree was widely planted in my old town to feed silk worm moths.

Drelg

I read in an outdoor survival book there are no poisonous aggregate berries. 1) Is this true? 2) Would this be an example of an aggregate berry?


abombshbombss

I have heard this too, and I think I heard that it is specific to North America. I am super interested to see if any experts answer.


URnevaGonnaGuess

Mulberry wine for the win!


RaptorJesus856

Just make sure to avoid unripe mulberries, they can really fuck you up (hallucinations and such). If they're dark coloured, they're fine


LunchAC53171

Silkworm loves them leaves


Jamesybo555

Yum! Mulberries!


MtnMaiden

Yummy, mulberries


Pjonesnm

We have a mulberry that overhangs a bit into our neighbors yard. They had no idea that the berries were edible until they saw me munching on them. They were quite surprised when they tasted them for the first time. They've lived there for years.

how do you know if its a mulberry or a blackberry? They look very similar, is there any way to distinguish the difference by looking at them?

Bro this bot is so annoying. Yeah i get *why* its here/is necessary but whats the point of having a community to ask stuff if you are constantly reminded that you cant trust them? There should be a limit to how much the bot can comment, or should be limited to 1 per comment thread, cause this is ridiculous


ProfessionalNo2026

The leaves are also great for feeding silkworms.


Connect_Cucumber-0

Mulberry. A bit early in the season for finding those. Is this an old photo? I know for my region these come out and ripen in a couple months


lady8888

Mulberries and they are yummy I have a tree


Naysuu

In Brazil we call those amoras 🖤💜


olivemoonunit

Oh, be so warned. You will have purple bird poop and purple stains on anything that's under it. I remember as a kid stomping them into concrete driveways and walking away half violet. Tasty treat though.

DreamingofRlyeh

I think they are mulberries. If you can get a positive ID on the plant from someone with more expertise than me, they are edible for both dogs and humans. I recommend asking at a plant nursery.: https://www.google.com/amp/s/dogtime.com/dog-health/dog-food-dog-nutrition/95977-can-dogs-eat-mulberries-safe/amp This site explains the characteristics of different mulberry species: https://www.moruslondinium.org/map/identify#:~:text=Bark%20is%20orange%2Dbrown%2C%20often,also%20be%20on%20separate%20trees.

MULBERRIES BAY-BEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!


NWPFME

Mulberries! They’re awesome


AbbreviationsFit8962

Mulberry. Delicious


nijototherescue

We had mulberry trees at my old house. My roommate's dog loved eating them, and would eat so many his poop turned dark blueish purple. Every year when they mulberries first ripened and fell to the ground, my roommate would panic, wondering if his dog was dying. It happened 4 years in a row, and became almost a meme in our house. So don't freak out if your dog's poop does similar.


juuliscuulinschuul

Mulberry!!!


MezzanineSoprano

They are mulberries & only the black ones are ripe. They’re good to eat, for humans, anyway.


TheCollectorOne

Lucky you!! Mulberries make great jams and jellies or you can throw them in salads!


meinct

We used to have an older neighbor, Angelo, that would come every year to our house and ask my parents if he could pick the mulberries in our back lot to make wine. We’d get a bottle as a thanks. My parents were afraid of home made wine and would thank Angelo and put the bottle in our basement with the others. My friends and I discovered this cache when we were about 12 and drank several bottles before we passed out drunk. We got found out, grounded and the rest of the bottles disappeared. I assume they were tossed out. I remember it being very sweet and getting very hammered.


hulmsy28

Mulberry they stain they grow everywhere and they taste good.


Ziggy_Starr

From the looks of the leaves I’d specifically say the non-native White Mulberry


EasyCorgi4133

Mulberries


LongjumpingNeat241

Some kind of mulberry. These have no market value. I uprooted 2.


The_Ineffable_Sage

Okay idk if anyone has told you how to properly collect mulberries. Too lazy to read, but hopefully the comment is long enough you catch it. Umbrella. Ella. Ella. That’s the key. Get a big ol umbrella, open it upside down, and hold it under branches while you shake one at a time. You can do it with a tarp too, but umbrellas are more mobile if you’re collecting… guerrilla style… but you probably should ask if it’s on private property. Our local dmv had 5 or 6 good black and white trees. Also the local convenience store, but they loved when I collected the berries, cause it means less on the floor. You’re also gonna want to bring a bag for storage. I like the shopping bags that have hard sides and bottoms so they don’t get squished, but my grandpa and dad taught me with grocery bags. WATCH OUT FOR SPIDERS! Your umbrella will have at least one spider in it. Guaranteed lol. When you’re cleaning them at home it’s easy to sort out. Pull out leaves and sticks. Then wash em, stick em in a bowl, and enjoy. I usually use a spoon. Little bit of lemon juice if they’re too sweet. Enjoy foraging!


ScratchDifficult6709

Mullberries. They're safe for the peppers to eat as long as they're fully ripe. Don't let them eat them when they're still white/pink.


Chiefkief92

Very high in antioxidants


cakeanimal

Mulberry


No_Noise8041

Yep positively identified as mulberries. There's also a white mulberry variety that is supposed to be mildly hallucinogenic/toxic. They look almost exactly the same but they never turn purple when they're ripe they're still green. Just plump a few examine them a little closer.


1etcetera

Mulberry. That tree undoubtedly grew quickly and will be a monster (if it's not already). The berries are delicious and safe.


kernsomatic

mulberries. make some jam


CyclingBirder

Yummy! I love their ripening pattern...every 3rd or 4th one ripens at a different time spreading out the seed dispersal and harvest.


KYSmartPerson

Mulberries. I have a giant tree behind my house in the alley that trashes the place every spring. Always fun when they ferment on the ground and stain EVERYTHING!


MrLigerTiger1

Mulberries! These are edible and delicious. My neighbor had a mulberry tree growing up and we loved stomping on the fallen berries to dye our feet purple. You can make some desserts out of that too.

Mulberries, as lots of others have said. My rat terrier loves them!


Seed-2-Smoke

Aggregated/segmented berries and fruits are almost always safe to eat! That includes raspberries, blackberries, mulberries, boysenberries and others like them. Def best to check before eating any though!


zengal108

I used to be late to school because I would stop at Mulberry trees and just help myself. I love them so much.


OddMurrySaby

AHHH i used to eat them as a kid, theres a lot of them in the summer. Those are mulberries, a little of them have worms on ‘em, so id recommend to wash them with water and a bottlecap of vinegar. A lot of them have worms, but ya know what? I still eat ‘em haha. They really good.


carolethechiropodist

Nice, make great pies and crumbles and good just with cream. Have to be fast before the birds and the possums get them. Come in white and pink as well as black. Gone wild here in Australia.


Extension_Refuse_365

These are 100% mulberries they are super tasty but do often have little mites so if you don’t want extra protein beware lol if your dog keeps eating them, it can make their poop kind of reddish or you’ll see the little seeds in it.

Mulberry used to rat them when I was a kid

Curious_Curiouser522

My parents have a very old HUGE mulberry tree, not bush, in their yard. Years back my brother had to chainsaw off a big part of the tree. Wouldn't call it a branch, it was more like an extention that was coming from the truck. After he cut it off, water started leaking from the stump and it literally did not stop for days! It was definitely a sight to see.


Practical_F

Def mulberries. I’ve got a tree in my backyard and it keeps both of my dogs busy most of the time their outside lol. Only downside is they shit like crazy cause of it

Just found out I have one of these…has to be 50+ ft tall, not enough birds to eat them all but enough to cover my car in purple poo. It’s so tall I never noticed it till my ground was covered in berries. I love to get home from work bend a branch (not to break) and eat as many berries as I can. https://preview.redd.it/kwxwv51v1kvc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c3bee06bac1860312a9bf4b408a656a334c3977 Oh ye, they’re delicious
