| Mulberry Trees are native to the Eastern United States, including New York City. Mulberry Street was named in colonial times, it probably gets its name from a grove of mulberry trees that was in the area. Those trees are long gone, but mulberry trees are still found throughout the city. They're good city trees: tolerant of drought, poor soil, and pollution. |
