Hi! Is this a mulberry weed in my blueberry plant? #Blueb...

Looks like my blackberry bush
Hi! Did a little research for you, and it seems like it’s a white mulberry, a favorite food of silkworms (and edible for humans!) πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘
@LuxuryAlbo thanks! Should this be pulled?
@SnappyChosmo so I saw that you live in Illinois and white mulberry is considered an invasive plant in your state. If it’s not bothering you or getting out of control you could leave it, it won’t do any harm except maybe attracting insects/fauna that might enjoy its leaves or berries. It’s a tree though, so depending on where it’s growing it could become a problem as it gets bigger! I’d say removal of it is at your discretion πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘
