As a child I have good memories of picking mulberry from the trees in my garden and to wear the bucket to my neighbor’s house on my pony. She gave me a little appearance for my work, but I was very happy to share them with her.
I really can’t remember if I ever brought her enough to even make a cake, but Mrs. Nuenaber appreciated the gesture and I loved her visits, so it was a win-win.

Another species introduced in North America is Black Mulberry, M. NigraThose native is in West Asia.
There are many discrepancies about it The identification of the different types of mulberry, but they can generally be used interchangeably. Interesting is that, although most studies have found on Morus Alba, the few herbalists I know, they also use them, regardless of the species. James Duke, herbalist and botanist, noted that this would happen in his book Medicinal Handbook: “I suspect that … herbalists, publishing phytochemists … do not know what kind (red, white or black mulberry) they last taken for edible or medicinal reasons. Furthermore, I doubt that most chemical and overseas clinical tests have been set … I would use them generically for food and medicines, although I as a botanist cannot prescribe that … I will bet in 10 years, someone brutal than I will treat them all generically as mulberry, Morus. pivot. “
