So early in the morning: Perhaps not art, nor culture, per se, but the mulberry is certainly germane to the cultural evolution of the southern US, from the failed colonial silkworm cultivation efforts onward. It grows wild in many a Southern yard, often considered a trash tree and removed, but is a source of delectable fruit and nutritious leaves & stems. I have beaten the birds to a few to my delight.

Movie of San Francisco Trolley run before 1906 Quake
Seven or so minutes of silver screen reminiscence with a melancholy instrumental:
Headed towards the Ferry Building along Market Street. On the eve of their pride, you might say — not long after, San Francisco would be devastated by the infamous 1906 earthquake, killing thousands.

Tip of the hat to Charles Nelson for this.
