Are mulberry poisonous

Answer 1

No, mulberries are edible.

Answer 2

No, they are delicious & nutritious. They come in purple & white. The white are 1/2" to 1" long, sweet and firm, and are ripe in early summer, and available commercially as candy. In late spring, the very sweet and juicey purple(almost black) mulberries are 1"-2" long, and too delicate for commercial marketing. They are easily picked or shaken from the tree/bush and taste wonderful fresh by the handfull, or in/on ice cream, pies, cereal, fruit smoothies, .... They are not so fun underfoot, or on your car. In Virginia, they grow easily, and like crazy (also called 'monkey-puzzle' trees), and should be trimmed regularly, during the fall or winter. The genus(?) morlula referrs to the clump of spheres that compise the fruit. Morlula also referrs to the clump of cells in an early stage of embrionic development, before the cells of multiply-divided ovum start diferentiating.
