    hey all I had this tree in my yard for several years and havent really paid a whole lot of attention to it. Now I'm a little curious of what kind of tree it is. Also, are the berries edible?

    Thanks

    White Mulberry Morus alba. An invasive alien species in your area. The fruit is edible, but doesn't have as good a flavour as Red Mulberry M. rubra or Black Mulberry M. nigra. The best species to grow in Ohio is Red Mulberry.
