Yes… Steve I could try that. I read descriptions from several places … sounds like it produces its main crop very late (more like in the fall crop time). August, September, October.
That is when my HRs fall crop.
One site said they are moderately thorny.
I may have to plant them up near my logans… deer do not bother them… planted right against the house foundation.
Thanks
This is my “dwarf” mulberry. This pic is from last year and it actually started fruiting at only 8 inches tall.
It’s now about 4x the size.
Hajime Matsunaga, a Japanese plant breeder, apparently developed a Thai species of mulberry, M. rotundiloba, into a marketable dwarf mulberry known as ‘Charlotte Russe’.
It’s more of a novelty plant IMO. The fruit is sweet but insipid. I’ve heard it can be shy to fruit for a lot of people too. There is so much misinformation about this plant from online plant retailers.
Mojo berry is a joke…
This one was a chance seedling discovered by Matsunaga nursery/plant breeder in Japan. It did nothing for 40 years untill a Dutch plant patent company acquired the propagation rights, had them propagated by the 10 000’s and launched a huge advertising/marketing campagne to boost sales worldwide
Of course that doesn’t make this mulberry any better. It has small insipid berries that need a lot of sun hours and heat if you want any flavor in them. It should be considered an ornamental because of its rather dwarf size (10ft) and copious berry production. Unfortunately not very palatable compared to most other varieties
I had a deja vu moment here remembering I just read such a similar comment on facebook 
. Do you put the variety Issai in the same category? Mine is putting out some fruit now that is mediocre, but wondering if it does get better.
Some people just like the plants and just replant every year.
Just because I collect citrus and can’t pass up a bargain I grabbed a Persian lime since I didn’t have one on clearance for $10 at my local Lowe’s. While I have no problem with places selling out of zone plants the way it was labeled is wild. We are now 9a and I don’t think a lime would survive in ground without very smart planting location and some significant protection. I should have gotten two and planted one unprotected to test their obviously false claim. But just wanted to show how they have it labeled
