Mulberries

Question

Hello —

I have two mulberrry trees, but the fruits never turn dark until they’ve fallen to the ground, so I’m wondering if I have a white mulberry tree. If so, how do I know when to pick them? I picked a few large white ones that were ready to drop and they taste find, but nothing overwhelming. Also, they’ve been fruiting for a few weeks already, so are they early for June? I live in CA so perhaps the weather has cause them to fruit early? Any information would be appreciated! Thank you!
