Is it a Mulberry Tree? They look just like blackberries but are sweeter. I have a couple growing on my property. I eat the berries and feed the leaves to my Sulcata Tortoise as a treat.

Upon some sugar apple reading, came across Cherimoya which also sound tasty

I'm not sure.I'll have to look it up and get a positive identification.

^ You just reminded me that I need to plant strawberries in the spring! I'm sick of buying them from the store.

I grow 3 types of blueberries, huckleberries, gooseberries, 2 types of goji berries, blackberries, 3 types of raspberries, honeyberries yet no strawberries. I'd like to try growing some pineberries too.

I'll have to research a few of those but they all good to have around.

I threw in these apple bananas a few years ago, I never water or tend to them put they finally are putting off. My area is really dry, I see small yields but when they come they are almost overly sweet. My friend ferts and waters his and quadruples my yield. lol

It's most likely a Mulberry Tree. They can be quite invasive and hard to kill. They get spread around from bird droppings and can survive in very poor soil and pop up in places like sidewalks, roadsides and along fences. I've actually cut down quite a few of them from my property and they always send up new suckers if you haven't killed the main tree stump.

I see you're in Hawaii. Unfortunately I don't think many of the berry types I have listed would do well there because they need a proper chilling and dormant period to produce fruit.

Brazilian pepper trees are the worst for this. Big problem with these in Fl

I have some awesome meadow mushrooms that grow up under the pine trees in my backyard. The first time I picked, cooked and ate them my wife thought I was crazy and going to die, lol.
