===Red Mulberry -- Morus rubra (edible)===
Red mulberry grows in a dense, bushy, tree with drooping branches. Reaching heights of 30 to 50 ft tall, identifying features are milky sap and deciduous, ovate leaves with pointed tips. The trees are found in sandy lowland areas. The flowers are minute and grow in spikes, the males of which are 2 to 3 inches long. Fruit grows in 1 to 2 inch oblong clusters, is dark purple, and very juicy when ripe. Fruit is first ready in late spring, and the plant will produce through fall. The best way to eat mulberries is fresh from the tree when fully ripe, but many enjoy mulberry wine, jam or pies.
