and the answer is: Mulberry Trees!


We have identification of the mystery trees thanks to the guys on the Forestry forum...they are mulberry trees! Will have to see if we want to keep all of them as they can be invasive and the female trees which have the berries are kinda messy..BUT the fruit IS tasty! I remember a friend having a mulberry tree when I was growing up and we would come home with purple fingers and lips and drips all over our playclothes when the fruit was ripe.
I wonder if I should raise a couple of silkworms!

Yes, the berries are great, but very very messy. The birds love them too!
The berries will stain even cement walks!
