What is this berry? #873331

Asked June 16, 2024, 3:55 PM EDT

This tree has many berries about the size of the tip of my little finger. They start out as green, then red and then black. They look like miniature blackberries. Are they edible for humans?

Thank you for reaching out to ask2.Extension.

These are mulberries. Yes they are edible by humans. They can be used for desserts, jellies or just for eating. You can google more uses if you want.
