BLACK MULBERRY (Morus nigra L.) +++

I suspect that most birds and few foresters, herbalists, publishing phytochemists, phytotherapists,
and even plant taxonomists don’t know which species (red, white, or black mulberry, respectively,
M. rubra, M. alba, or M. nigra) they last ingested for edible or medicinal reasons. Further, I
doubt that most chemical and overseas clinical trials have been vouchered. Still, I keep the species
separate in my Herbal Desk Reference, knowing that I have white and black fruited trees
volunteering, almost weeds, here in the Green Farmacy Garden. I would, myself, use them
generically for food and medicine, though as a botanist, I cannot prescribe such. See other species
for other indications. I’ll bet that in 10 years, someone bolder than I will treat them all generically
as mulberry, Morus spp.
