Roman legions planted it along every road they marched. American colonists were legally required to grow it. Then, in the 1980s and 1990s, city governments across America quietly passed ordinances making it illegal to plant.The mulberry was once one of America's most common urban trees. It produces fruit for 30 to 40 years with zero care, zero fertilizer, and zero cost. Its fruit contains resveratrol, anthocyanins, and a rare compound called DNJ that clinical trials confirm actively blocks blood sugar spikes. A 2023 systematic review covering 15 studies documented measurable improvements in blood sugar, cholesterol, and visceral fat from mulberry intervention alone.So why did 60 American cities ban it? The official reason was pollen. But the bans outlawed female trees, which produce no pollen at all. What they eliminated was 40 years of free medicine growing on every street corner, in a region where diabetes rates are among the highest in the country. The commercial berry industry, selling blueberries at 5 dollars a pint, did not object.📚 Sources:- Wang, Y., et al.
