not sure as I’m in a much colder zone than you but maybe someone more familiar with mulberries hardy to your area will chime in. i have illni. everbearing and northrop here but they are some of the few that survive here.

Such a neat way to ship plants!

I’m impressed, if there isn’t an official name for this one, I’m afraid you will have to share some cuttings with me at some point :smiley:

Is it possible to get a Cutting or anything ?? I am looking only for the varieties with good harvest!like this one on your picture

Maybe next year, my plants are small yet

Well, going through a local nursery i saw 2 abandoned mulberries (small vases, few and dry soil and exposed roots) in the very end of the nursery, by the landscaping tree zone. Both the same type of mulberries, but one of them to big to carry, the other one a bit smaller.
No label, but i believe its a morus alba bombcys, one of those used for ornamental purposes (i have 2 of these, one supposed to be a female one but only producing male flowers…).
I believe its a bombcys because leaf shape is the same and the leaf feels very course to the touch (almost like a nigra), like my other alba bombcys.
This ones surely are females or carry both genders because they had fruits on them…
Brought the smaller one home to be planted next to the other mulberries. The nursery owner didnt even knew he had them and i bought it for 5 euros. Lol

I have Monstera deliciosa here in Miami, Florida. The fruit by the way is superlative. It takes about a year to ripen, but the taste is well worth it. It’s a combination of pineapple, banana, coconut and mango. Very unique flavor. But I thought it was a tropical vine!!!
