Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush the Mulberry Bush the Mulberry Bush!

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.
