Berry id is it edible - I moved house a few months ago, and this shrub is in my new garden. The newly rippening berries looked and smelled familiar to me, so I tried a ripe one about an hour ago. It tasted sweet with a pair-like texture. It has a slightly tarty after-taste, but ..4411 days 7hrs

The birds pick at it when the fruit is tiny, and thin it out for me. By the time the fruit rippens the birds have gone off it, and we get lovely apples:)

Mulberry - Black English ^9/10

Comments: - Our tree is huge and graceful. Its beautiful to look at and beautiful to eat.We prune off the dead canes from the inside each year, and its about 3m2 inside now. My kids use it for a cubby house:)The fruit ripens in waves; raining berries for about 3 days, then next to none for the next 3-5 days. While the berries are falling, we put a sheet under the tree, and the first ones dont have time to spoil before the berry shower ends.Apart from fresh handfuls straight off the tree, we like to blend the berries with a little sugar and pour over vanilla ice-cream. A favourite summer treat!
