We were on our loop walk the other day and noticed (for the first time) a Mulberry Tree.  A mulberry tree with mulberries!!!

 

My picture isn’t great, but I circled the berries so you could better see them.  Really, we were so busy picking and eating the berries, that I almost forgot to take a picture.  

 

For identification purposes, the leaves are large and heart shaped, and the berries are elongated like blackberries, hanging under the leaves.  As soon as they turn red they are sweet and ready to pick.  I think they taste like strawberries.   

 

After we saw this one we noticed another one along the road to town.  We noticed it because the road beneath it was dark red.  And when we looked up we saw Mulberries!!!!

 

Be on the lookout.  There may be a tree near you.  Oh, yeah, I didn’t need it, but the Seek app positively identified it as Red Mulberry.  

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
