Mulberry tree was growing about 30 miles west of Leavenworth, Kansas,
Fruit was black and red, long and tasty.  The reason I called it a
black mulberry because I was told that when I was eating them.  I
can't recall the shape of the leaves but the tree was large.  It was
the only mulberry tree I saw there.
