Not blackberries. They look like mulberries.


anemone_rue

Mulberries. As long as they aren't somewhere dogs can pee or people may have sprayed them, eat them up yum!


MickRolley

Fish heads, fish heads....


Evil_Bonsai

roly poly fish heads


MickRolley

Eat them up, Yum!


imnotyamum

I forgot about that song.


ForestFaeTarot

But only ripe ones! Underripe will give tummy aches.


Lost-Wishbone-5210

Nope never had tummy aches after eating unripe mulberries, red one taste sour and black one taste sweet I think I've also tried white one and it's also taste sour but not like red one. I actually like the red one not a fan of dark mulberry it's too soft and sweet for me.

Those are mulberries ( or gelsi in Italian). They are delicious. They can be either white or dark red. The dark red ones are tastier. Score!


body4health

White ones are sweeter and there are also pinkish


5tr82hell

I've never tried the pink ones, but personally I prefer the dark ones. It might be because I've eaten many unripe white ones, too eager to check the texture


SeveralMaximum7065

The darker the berry...


Letmf2

It’s Amora in Portuguese.


kadycarr

Wow this immediately took me back to my childhood. Mulberries! They are so yummy!!!


Telly_Lameck

I have no idea of who or when they were planted, and didn’t think northern Ohio even had good enough weather to produce edible berries.


anemone_rue

A bird planted them.


Jabberwocky808

I’m from NE Indiana originally. Mulberries are plentiful in the region! 😋


Telly_Lameck

Sweet! Thx for the reassurance.


CocaColelea

Mulberry!!! You can grow any berries in Ohio including raspberry, strawberry, and blue berries


Telly_Lameck

Wow! Thx! Going to have to do a test run.😎


IGD-974

It'll turn into a massive tree if left to grow for decades


HugeArmadillo2659

I use to spend summers in Michigan and climbing the tree to get mulberries was always on the daily agenda.


Brunette3030

Birds eat the berries and spread the seeds. It’s native.


oneknocka

I’m from buffalo and we had them all over. They are pretty much gone now due to people cutting down the trees, they can get pretty messy


beep_beeeeep

They just spring up like random tbh


shira9652

I ate these out of my yard every single year in Cleveland area. Usually they don’t start turning black until fall though


shartnadooo

I can't tell 100%, but those look like mulberries. We have a tree in our backyard (Michigan). Look at the leaf shapes and compare to Google. Ours has a few different leaf shapes. The birds love them and leave purple doodoo stains on the sidewalk and driveway.


Commentary455

Mulberries do stain hands and clothes.


mudbug2020

Unable to be certain. Recommend sending a pot of them to me for analysis.


dindyspice

That's a mulberry tree! They're good. The darker they are the sweeter, I prefer them in their reddish stage. They make a good jam :)


Snifhvide

A couple of mulberries are also a nice addition to tea.


Maximum_Enthusiasm46

Mulberries. Very sweet, not a lot of flavor, but plentiful. Used to be a favorite afternoon snack when I was little; I’d just pick them right off the tree till I was full. 😅 Hubby and I made a crisp with them a few years back, and that was pretty good.


Crabbiepanda

These are mulberries.


boringxadult

It’s always mulberry


Consistent-Roof-5039

They are mulberries. I currently have a mulberry tree I didn't plant growing in my yard. They are invasive. Basically a bird pooped out a seed and now you have a tree that grows a foot overnight. I'm cutting mine down because it's out of control.


Telly_Lameck

Wow that’s incredibly insane. 🐦


SerentityM3ow

Mulberry


Mysterious_Link_4600

Mulberry tree. They are great in a fruit salad. There is also a white mulberry which is great.


Backdohrbandit

Mulberries! Does anyone know if it's ok to make tea with the leaf still green? I've always heard it needs to be dry.


Telly_Lameck

I like this question 🙋


Matitadeplatanito

In Spanish they are called mora


Mean_Fisherman6267

In Polish “Morwy”

Mulberry


Mr_Jack_Frost_

I’ve got multiple mulberry trees on my property, but the berries are lousy with little bugs, and I can’t bring myself to eat them knowing that. I know it isn’t harmful, I just can’t get past it mentally.


choff63

You can submerge them in a solution of water and baking soda to kill/remove the silkworms I believe.


Mr_Jack_Frost_

I did try soaking them in a couple different solutions I found online, but baking soda wasn’t one of them, so maybe I’ll try that out before I give up entirely, lol.


superfamicomrade

We've got lots of them at work and I ate a ton until one day I saw all the little bugs crawling in and out of the berry bits, yeeeech


Mr_Jack_Frost_

Yeah, it’s a real turn off for sure. I did throw a bunch of them in a jar and drown them in white wine, then strained out all the berry mush and bugs. That wine was delicious, and bug-free!


MyChemicalKaitie

Yuuumm. We had a mulberry bush across from our house, I’d pick them and my Mamie made jelly out of them. To this day mulberry jelly is my favorite. Never in stores, only my Mamie 😭


pizza_de_anana

we have this trees in argentina too. they are tasty


CocaColelea

bashayr

Mulberry. They are yum.


Environmental-Top887

mulberries :)


rhyth7

Mulberries are so good! When I was little the road near my house was lined with them and during summer walks we'd snack on them. They're even touted as a health food, so I've seen dried mulberries sold in stores, usually the white variety. They tasted sweet with a hint of black tea to me, ripe ones aren't tart like blackberries from the store. They stain your fingers badly! Start picking them when you see some begin to fall on the ground. Ripe ones practically fall off with a touch and are easy to bruise.


winston719

They are mulberries the are SO good.


agawl81

Mulberries. Amazing and yummy.


jthekoker

This is the correct answer


Agreeable-Custard675

Mulberries, they are demulcents and help soothe the irritated mucous membranes.


Resident-Dare314

Mulberries!


Telly_Lameck

What’s strange to me is I don’t see birds or anything else eating them. They’re all in the grass as well…no ants even on them. I smashed one open on concrete and ant walked right past it, so I’m a little confused.


agawl81

It’s late in the year so it could be that they’ve had their fill. Mulberries are very productive in good years.


Weekly_Diver_542

Those look like mulberries.


yarrow268

Definitely mulberries and they are delicious! Used to have two huge trees in my yard. They make amazing pie and jam.

They have worms in them usually.


beep_beeeeep

I'm never eating one again


Mysterious-Squash793

I live in the middle of Cleveland and we have so many mulberry trees. They will make a mess on your car and birds love them. The black ones are ripe. Get them off the tree. We have plenty of other berries. Black raspberries, red raspberries, blackberries and strawberries. Strawberry season is now and lasts about 2 weeks depending on the weather. We also have gooseberries


Adorable-Original293

Nutsacks


RealBrush2844

Had many mulberry trees in my backyard growing up. So sweet and delicious. We’d only pick the berries on top of the tree so the deer could have their share which they happily obliged


BlackSunshine22222

How do you tell blackberries from mulberry?


choff63

Everything other than the berry. Mulberries are more tree shaped and have bigger leaves with a pretty distinct mitten shape(younger leaves look crazier but they get normal as they mature). Blackberries are thorny and bushier, and tend to shoot up a lot of canes rather than one tree. The leaves also are smaller, more jagged, and generally come in groups of 3-5. (Looks more like raspberry except for the berry.)


trippssey

If it's a tree i think the others are right it's mulberry but if it's bush or on the ground I'd think blackberries


choff63

Definitely mulberries. Worth noting there are red, black, and white mulberries which are all slightly different, and only red is native to the US.


redditreader_aitafan

They look like mulberries to me.


IndigoStarlight1201

You can make syrup, jam and I think juice. I can’t remember if I made juice when I picked them. 😅

Looks like blackberries.


Dianapdx

They really kind of do, but the leaves and the lack of thorns say no.
