I liked mulberries a lot as a child, and was shocked when I learned that adults consider them insipid. (Now, I do think that white mulberries are insipid compared with black ones.) We had a big mulberry tree in our yard and I used to love climbing it, often with a book and accompanied by our cat Aristotle. It was fantastic when it was windy.
Of course, I knew about adults unhappy with the berry stains and bird feces concomitant to mulberries from early on.
We had black raspberries and blackberries in our yard and neighborhood. Bliss. The large humped blackberries were also major butterfly Mecca, en route to the milkweed field.
