▶ "Only eat 'em when they're ripe," a picker told me. "If not," they warned, pointing to a rear portion of their anatomy, "you get the diarrhea!"

▶ “Morus rubra — commonly known as the red mulberry — is a species of mulberry, in the Moraceae family, native to eastern and central North America.

Red mulberry is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree, growing 35–50 feet tall (10–15 m), with a trunk up to 2 feet in diameter (61 cm). Red mulberry is hardy to subzero temperatures, relatively hardy to drought, pollution, and poor soil. It can live up to 125 years.

The fruit is a compound cluster of several small achenes [one-seeded fruit attached by a short stalk], similar in appearance to a blackberry, ¾ – 1¼ inches long (2–3 cm). The fruit is initially pale green, ripening to red or dark purple. When unripe, the fruits have (low) toxicity; fruits that are eaten when ripe and sweet are harmless.”
