I'm familiar with the mulberry trees (and their delicious fruit) here in Illinois, but today i stumbled upon 2 trees that have a different sort of mulberry. There are more unripe white berries than any other, and Most of the fully ripe berries appear as a very light white-purple-color, with only a very select few turning the familiar deep purple I'm used to. Are they diseased? is It some sort of hybrid? Is it safe to eat?? Here are the pictures...
A cultivar of Morus alba. Ripe fruit colour in different cultivars of Morus alba can vary from white right through to very dark purple, almost black.
