Blackberries and mulberries?
Question:I have recently begun eating mulberries right off the tree and check to see if they were edible. When i offered some to my friend he said that they were blackberries but I know that they are mulberreis because I researched it. Can someone explain this to me? Do blackberries and mulberries look alike? I dont think blackberries grow on tree either?
Answers:
Some of the fondest memories of my youth was eating mulberries off of the tree...
They do look similar but do not taste alike..
Blackberries grow on thorny vines..Not on trees.
Although the vine can grow up a tree to some degree..
Just tell your friend that they don't know what they are talking about.

The finest, most desirable silk comes from the mulberry silkworm, which is actually a caterpillar and not a worm.

that shows what mulberries are, they have different leaves to blackberries.
