Mulberry! Moras alba!

I know because I work in a kindergarten classroom and we are raising silkworms.

And silkworms only eat the leaves of mulberry.

Those bracts are developing, yummy mulberry fruit...

Yes, they are edible and have a mild flavor. You can make jams, jellies, pies from them. There is a white mulberry and a purple one.

" do they taste like chicken "

no- but some of the birds that try to steal all those berries might...
They are worth growing. To distract the birdies from your other trees at least. They tasted sorta bland, compared to some of the other berries, but I still enjoyed them.
