Can anyone ID these berries? They came from a large tree. I have pictures of the leaves and bark, if needed. I'm pretty sure they are a mulberry but I have two concerns: 1) they are tiny. I thought mulberries were much bigger 2) color is odd... from what I found using google mulberries ripen to either a clear/white color, a red color, or black. These are deep pink/lavender and they are ripe. Soft to the touch, falling from the trees, and very sweet. Yes, I tried one. Lol.  | ||

Looks like a Blackberry to me, but they come a bush as opposed to a tree. A picture of the tree/bush would help. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

I grew up under mulberry trees in the Midwest. The berries turn from purple to black when completely ripe. If you park a car under one, there will be purple birdshit all over your car. The leaves are distinctive in shape. That looks like mulberries but do a leaf identification to be sure.

I vote mulberry. They grow on trees with leaves with different dentation - very unusual. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

They don't look like any mulberry I've ever seen. Unless it's some kind of hybrid. There's black and white mulberry trees and black mulberries look so much like blackberries that they are hard to distinguish. What was the shape of the leaf of the plant they came off of? _____________ "I enter a swamp as a sacred place—a sanctum sanctorum.

They look like mulberries to me from a stunted tree. Usually they are longer and change color when they are ripe. The bad part is that birds eat them and then deposit the seed in your yard. The stain from bird droppings is as bad as wild cherry droppings. 41 | |||

Note to self: NEVER open a SF thread with a mouth full. I was chuckling around a mouthful of bean soup when I read "Marion Berry". When I got to "Dingle" I damn near choked to death!  Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||
