I tried mulberries for the first time when we were at UCD last month. I think it was the Illinois Everberring? They were VERY good. There is a white Iranian mulberry growing at a local winery (Bernardo Winery) that I am getting cuttings from this year. They are supposed to be very good too.

Sue and others here is Illinois everbearing mulberry . If look close on floor you can see many. Course my hands did get stained from eating so many just like when Anthony and i used to eat them as kids across the alley from Grandmothers house in Chicago.

Martin, I remember when you first posted that picture. I was salivating. If you end up back there again in the future, I would gladly pay you for some cuttings. __________________ Jason Atlanta/Grant Park area - z8

These long mulberries resemble a variety called Pakistan which is good, but not the best I've tasted. __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138

Do any of you grow the native mulberry? I have a couple young trees that I got as seedlings. I don't expect they will bear as well as the improved varieties, but I am going to give them a try. __________________ South Louisiana, Zone 9

Chapman, Most Morus Rubra ( our only mulberry native to U.S.) are normally pretty tasty so don't sell them short. They will be nothing the size of the photos here. Morus Alba is naturalized here, but not native, and is more variable, from very bland to very good. You can't always trust the labels either at my local Pikes nursery they had plant labeled as "Native Mulberry" and the tag also stated Morus Nigra. If I knew for sure it was Nigra I might have went for it, but still dormant and not for sure I could ID even if it was leafed I passed. I don't believe "Native Mulberry" is a cultivar of Nigra, and Nigra isn't native to U.S. A seedling may turn out male however, as in no fruit:( __________________ Phil N.GA.

Strudledog, so if I have a female tree will I still need a male tree for pollination? __________________ South Louisiana, Zone 9

Probably not, but Mulberry seems to have a pretty open lifestyle when it comes to sex. Here is a quote from CRFG "Mulberry trees are either dioecious or monoecious, and sometimes will change from one sex to another. The flowers are held on short, green, pendulous, nondescript catkins that appear in the axils of the current season's growth and on spurs on older wood. They are wind pollinated and some cultivars will set fruit without any pollination Cross-pollination is not necessary. In California mulberries set fruit without pollination." And if you are not sure if male or female look in the crotch of the tree. That's not mine, but I remember reading it somewhere. __________________ Phil N.GA.

Thanks for the answer. I bought my trees at the annual NRCS seedling sale last year. They sell different bareroot seedlings for $2 each. Last year I bought 2 mulberry, 2 native persimmon and 2 native plum. __________________ South Louisiana, Zone 9
