Today is Endangered Species Day.
In Ohio, Red Mulberry is at risk of extinction because of the invasive White Mulberry. Not only does the White Mulberry spread easily, its wind-blown poll hybridizes with the native Red Mulberry, which compromises the genetic integrity of the Red Mulberry. The Red Mulberry, in short, will be bred out of existence. Our forests would lose an important understory tree that supports birds, such as the Scarlet Tanager, mammals, and insects.
To save the Red Mulberry, we must remove the White Mulberry and plant Red Mulberry.
An easy way to distinguish the two is White Mulberry has orangish tipped twins, and Red Mulberry has grayish. Their leaves differ as well. The Red Mulberry has a dull, hairy underside. You can also use iSeek or iNaturalist to assist with identification.
Most gardeners see a hornworm and immediately think they are enemies. But what if I told you they arenโt trying to ruin your hard work? Theyโre just native insects looking for a home in a world with dwindling options for habitat and food sources.
You can actually protect your prized tomato plants and support local wildlife by planting native wild nightshades in a dedicated space away from your main garden.

โข Black Nightshade
All of these native species produce delicious, edible berries for you and your family as well, but they are ONLY edible when they are RIPE. Do not eat them before they are ripe.
Its a win-win. You get to experience unique new foods, our native species get a little bit of food and habitat back, and your garden can breathe without the extra stress of excess insects eating it.
As long as you sterilize all your equipment, tools and containers properly and follow guidelines you are fine.
