I haven't heard of one that isn't safe
Just be sure the city doesn't use insecticides on it or the ground at the base.

Okay its kind of weird that they have maps showing where trees are, but okay...

All mulberry tree leaves are safe and good tortoise food. I would not feed the actual mulberries to anything but a fruit eating species. Make sure they are not spraying this tree for mosquitos in the warmer months. Some cities do that. You can also rinse the leaves by soaking them in a bucket of water before feeding.

Tom did you mean to make sure they are NOT spraying for mosquitoes? I'm assuming you did.

Yes. Thank you. Can you fix that for me since I can't edit after 10 minutes?

Yeah, NYC tracks everything!
But, they do spray for mosquitos in some years via some airfcraft and we are just advised to close all windows etc. Will just soak the leaves/rinse regardless.

Thanks everyone!
