Seasons

Almost all of the trees and shrubs in the park are deciduous, meaning that they drop their leaves in the fall. The appearance of the park therefore changes from season to season.

Mulberries in Woodwild Park

Two species of mulberry are common in our area: the red mulberry (Morus rubra) and the white mulberry (Morus alba). Both can be found in Woodwild Park. The berries are ripe and edible when they are soft. The ground underneath mature mulberry trees is usually littered with berries in early to mid June. For more information about mulberries, see, for example, the chapter on Mulberries in “Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in Wild (and Not-So-Wild) Places” by Steve Brill.
