Mulberry is a popular Florida native plant with an important Native American history. The Muskogee, Iroquois, Cherokee, and Timucua tribes all used the mulberry, whether it be for its fruit, branches, or leaves.
Mulberries might look and taste like raspberries and blackberries, but there aren’t members of the same family. Mulberries are actually related to jackfruit, figs, and breadfruit. Mulberry trees yield a massive amount of sweet fruit that is perfect for eating fresh, making jams and sauces, or as a filling for pies.
