The mulberry and fig expert in North Carolina is Dr A.J Bullard. I don't have his number or remember his address anymore, but I am sure you can get in contact with him from this link.I have known him since the mid 90's but haven't seen him in over 15 years. Well worth the trip, if you show interest in mulberries it is likely you can talk him into a tour of his place in NC. He was an early pioneer of zone pushing for lots of subtropical fruiting plants and a member of the North American Fruit Explorers. I know he has a particular fondness for mulberries and has probably tried every variety possible. I would expect he still maintains the best varieties from decades of searching. I can't make promises but you might be able to get scions mailed from him.http://www.herbarium.unc.edu/Collectors/Bullard_AJ_files/Bullard_AJ.htm
If you travel to Winter Garden from Ocala you can go to Our Kids Nursery- he is growing Pakistani long blueberries.
