Help! Where can I find 'Hicks Everbearing' or 'Stubbs' Red Mulberry?

General Fruit Growing

Hi.

I am researching various varieties to help initiate an orchard program in my city.

I am intrigued by uncommon fruits and uncommon varieties.

Is anyone growing ‘Hicks Everbearing’ or ‘Stubbs’ Red Mulberry? If so, PLEASE TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT IT! :slight_smile: :slight_smile: I can’t seem to find any nursery or plant retailer that carries it. Why is that? If anyone knows how to get these varieties, I would love to know.

Also, are there any other pure Morus Rubra varieties that you would recommend for zone 6?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Here is an interesting story. Someone in South Carolina might be able to track it down.

I acquired some Hicks Everbearing mulberry scion from my local University extension, Highmoor Farm in Monmouth, Maine. Grafted them onto morus alba tatarica roots and got a few takes…I will be visiting there tomorrow to see the plum trial block (and hopefully tastes a few plums), so maybe I will inquire about the parent Hick’s tree.

Not much info, and sadly the tree there had been knocked over by wind and was just a stump.

Eliza Greenman has a few trees and scions for sale: https://hogtree.com

Correction-my scions did NOT come from a liocal tree, very likely came from Eliza by way of John Bunker.

Do you folks have fruiting trees now? How is the fruit? Do you recommend the variety?
