--- Quote from: countryboy1981 on March 06, 2022, 08:40:11 AM ---There are two mulberry varities available at my local walmart and was wondering if anyone knew which varities these actually are:
"Everbearing" mulberry:

My guess would be dward everbearing they just left off the dwarf? Or would it be the Illinois everbearing?
"Black" mulberry:

It says morus nigra but I doubt they would have a true black mulberry from a Florida grower.

No idea, but neither are nigra for sure.
I'm going to be attempting some nigra in Al, but I don't have high hopes for them to cope with humidity.

Looking to buy some 3 or even better, 7 gal trees here in FL. I think I want
-- White Paki
-- Black Paki
--Red Himalyan
-- non dwarf everbearing (was told dwarf is not as good?)
Thx for any leads. I am in Sebastian but willing to pick up any place within a few hrs drive (espec if I can get them all at one place)
TnTrobbie:
"Everbearing" mulberry (or what its labelled as and most proliferant in the FL nursery trade) is probably my least favorite. I've been enjoying fruit from a "Dwarf Mulberry" I bought from Walmart for $10 some 5 years ago. The fruit really seems to come of age as the tree though they are 1/6 the size of a "Tice" or "Shangri LA" (sp?). Small fruit but very sweet (rasin/currant flavor) with branches loaded with 3-4 fruit per 2" of length. The tree remains small as well at 8ft with a weeping habit.
