I would love to add this variety to, we have a drawf everbearing tree we were just about to dig up. Hopefully we can convert it into something great.

Grafting it seems like a great idea. I plan on making a cocktail Mulberry tree with my dwarf everbearing. I do like showing people how to grow plants from cuttings using it since it roots so easily.

Mulberries have such vastly different growth rates and dormancy timings that I'd be hesitant to make a cocktail tree. I grafted some of Kaz's Himalayan Red mulberry scions onto a thai dwarf mulberry last year and they've grown so long and large that I'm worried about the otherwise solid graft union breaking.

Yes, the Himalayan (from Brad) is a vigorous tree, so you need to top it every year to keep it from overtaking the rootstock. I also have a few grafted on my Thai Dwarf and it is fine as long as I cut it back each year. The ones I grafted on the Black Pak is huge, branches are larger than the Black Pakistan branches on the same tree.

It is vigorous as Kaz and Brad said. I grafted it onto sixth street rootstock, and an everbearing tree from Home Depot and growth is very fast. Nice cultivar
