Mulberry breeding question

Do any named cultivars produce pollen ? Wanting to do some crosses .

Doubtful. Morus alba and rubra trees are either male or female, and all the named ones would be female. I’m not aware of any hermaphroditic mulberries, although it wouldn’t surprise me.

I have some wild ones that have both male and female flowers . So I guess I will start there by crossing to named cultivars to get male trees from named varieties . Long process .

Im thinking cliff England had a Rupp’s Romanian male at one time. Scions may be available
