What type of berry or plant is this?


Hi! We found this in our yard today. We live in region 9b. Any idea what it is? It looks a bit different than blackberries I've seen.

    (Introduced) Mulberry (Morus alba)

    Mulberry. Delicious! Don’t park beneath it though or you’ll be washing purple bird poop off every day.

    Mulberry !

    The only surefire thing is the genus, Morus. They hybridize readily, so knowing how invasive-or-not the particular specimen you have is not easy. Keep an eye out for seedlings, since birds love them. 

    The tree will crop in waves, so shake the trunk over a food-safe tarp to get the ripe berries to fall. They’re good in many applications but they’re not very acidic and have little pectin.

    Cedar Waxwings it’s love them here in Southeast Texas. They’re tasty berries and make good jelly or wine.

    Mulberry. There are both native and invasive varieties and hybrids. Unfortunately I think most are invasive. The berries are delicious and extremely nutritious though.

    Definately mulberry. So delicious. Going to stain you hands when you eat them.
